Husband, wife team staff office
The Council Bluffs office, which opened Oct. 1, 2001, contains several fitting rooms, a gait room and a work laboratory for minor modification, alterations, repairs and adjustments. All other fabrications are performed at the main facility in Omaha.
The Bluffs office is staffed by Jim and Mary Littleton, a husband and wife team who provide the full spectrum of orthotic and prosthetic care.
Both are certified in the fitting of vascular compression garments, whereas Jim Littleton is certified in orthotics and prosthetics, and Mary Littleton is certified in the fitting of orthotic soft goods and post-mastectomy products. She is particularily proud of one of their specialty fitting rooms, totally dedicated to female patients in need of her services. However, she is able to provide the full line of post mastectomy breast prostheses and garments at either facility.
The Brace Place is fully accredited by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics, Inc. The facility and Jim Littleton are supporting members of the Amputee Coalition of America, and Jim Littleton is a member of the International Association of Orthotics and Prosthetics.
