DERRICK CAMPANA, CO
Orthotics Consultant
As a board certified Orthotist, Derrick Campana has several years of experience using braces and prosthetics to correct or accommodate an affected animal extremity. A graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, Derrick received a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, the biomechanical study of the body in motion, and went on to receive his certification in Orthotics at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.
Originally, working with just the human population, Derrick discovered his true passion by utilizing his prosthetic and orthotic skills to the aid and rehabilitate animals. His work with animals originated with a black Labrador named Charles who suffered from a congenital deformity. Multiple cases later, his most current challenge involves Maxi, a mixed-breed suffering from multiple joint contractures on all four limbs, and an above elbow amputee named Mia who will be the ring bearer during a spring wedding.
Currently, with his human population, he works at an orthotic and prosthetic company called Specialized Orthopedic Services in Vienna, VA. At VOSM, Derrick works directly with the orthopedic team to make sure you’re your pet receives the best care possible. |
