Align Clinic is Proud to Announce the Hiring of Miguel Bustamante, CPO!

Align Clinic is pleased to announce the hiring of Miguel Bustamante! Miguel is an extremely qualified prosthetist and orthotist with over 17 years of experience in the field. Before joining Align Clinic, Miguel served as Clinic Manager with his previous employer at their Mountain View, CA location and at an additional satellite clinic in Redwood City, CA. He has practiced in the San Francisco Bay Area for his entire career.
 
Miguel is an ABC Certified Prosthetist/Orthotist who has extensive experience in pediatric orthotics, including Cranial Remolding Orthoses (helmets). His interest in pediatrics began early in his career during his Orthotics residency working under Align Clinic’s very own Steve Baum, who served as his Residency Director. Miguel has vast experience working with adults as well, like those with neurological conditions including stroke, muscular dystrophies, Multiple Sclerosis, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. He is listed on the CMTA website as a CMT clinician.
 
Miguel has specialized in advanced technologies for orthotic management of the lower extremities, like the Walk Aide System for foot drop and Stance Control orthoses including the microprocessor-controlled Otto Bock C-brace. He was one of the first clinicians in the state of California to fit a C-brace.
 
As a Certified Prosthetist, Miguel has fit various levels of lower limb amputations, from partial foot amputations to hip disarticulations. He has provided lower limb microprocessor-controlled prostheses and elevated-vacuum prosthetic sockets from various manufacturers.
 
Miguel brings his passion for helping others, his experience, and his determination for successful outcomes to Align Clinic.

Align Clinic Sponsors 16 Year Old Mountain Biker

Picture
​Align Clinic has the distinct pleasure of officially sponsoring an athlete. Aunika (Center Podium) is an avid mountain biker and competes regularly. She has also been a patient of Align clinic for more than a year and wears a WCR brace to help support her spine and correct her scoliosis. Aunika refuses to let her scoliosis hold her back from her passion, placing first in her state championships in the sophomore category last year and currently ranked 7th in the country for her age group!

Click the link below for pictures of Aunika's victory and to see the rest of the athletes we treat who refuse to let scoliosis hold them back.

Align Clinic is Proud to Announce the Hiring of Raul Ferrera Hernandez!

Picture
Raúl Ferrera has been working in the orthopedics sector in Spain since 1999 and is trained as both a physical therapist and as an orthotist. His career started at Lacalle Sports Medicine. He spent six years dedicated to orthopedics and distribution of sports medicine equipment to sports teams and orthopedic professionals, where he advised and trained technicians and physiotherapists. During that period, he began as a collaborating professor at the University of Zaragoza where he continues to teach. In 2005 he started to work with Ortopedia Zaraorto, with whom he still collaborates, designing and manufacturing braces.
 
In 2008, after beginning his university studies in physiotherapy, he began to specialize in the Chêneau brace for scoliosis. After several years training in the Rigo Chêneau brace and obtaining the C2 certificate in the Schroth method with Dr Rigo, he is currently considered a specialist in the Rigo-Chêneau method and collaborates with Dr Rigo himself, making braces and training technicians, physiotherapists and doctors. This gives him the distinct advantage of not only training as a physical therapist, but also understanding the intricacies of bracing from the perspective of a trained orthotist. This unique perspective makes him invaluable as we continue to strive to make the best scoliosis braces available.

In 2018 he became a member of SOSORT (International Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment) and joined the Align Clinic team, as technical director, to help the AC team in the further development of their WCR (Wood Chêneau Rigo) brace

Align Clinic in Southern California

Align Clinic is excited to announce the WCR certification of Jed Jacobson, CPO of Active Life Orthotics and Prosthetics in Southern California.   

Jed can perform any WCR consultations, evaluations, scanning, fitting, follow-up, parts repair and adjustments for the Align Clinic WCR brace in the Southern California area.  Interested patients can schedule at their convenience based on Jed's availability in each location (Glendale, Orange County or San Diego).

Align Clinic Goes International! New Clinic in Shanghai China

Picture
Align Clinic is proud to announce our cooperation with the Shanghai Charity Foundation in an effort to provide scoliosis screening and bracing to poor western Chinese students. In a massive effort to find and correct scoliosis in its young population, the Shanghai Charity Foundation has begun an effort to screen more than 35,000 students beginning by the end of the year. Align Clinic was invited to attend a ceremony in Shanghai where a grant was established and plans were laid out in order to bring in the doctors, specialists, and equipment necessary for this massive endeavor. During the ceremony, the Shanghai Charity Foundation asked Align Clinic to assist in the training of local orthotists in the manufacturing of WCR braces which will be used to treat those students who suffer from scoliosis. At the ceremony Grant Wood was named Director of International Consulting for Scoliosis Bracing. If you'd like to read the article at the Shanghai Charity Foundation's website click the link below. If you'd like to see photos of the trip please click the link marked, "Shanghai Clinic Photos".
