What Scheck & Siress does

Scheck & Siress is a Chicago-area orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) clinical care provider founded in 1953 that delivers custom-fabricated devices to restore mobility and function for patients with limb loss, limb difference, scoliosis, cranial asymmetry, neuromuscular disorders, and sports or orthopedic injuries. The core product portfolio spans lower-limb prosthetics (microprocessor knees and feet, hydraulic ankle/feet), upper-limb prosthetics (myoelectric hooks and hands), cranial remolding helmets, scoliosis TLSO braces, and lower-limb specialty orthoses for pediatric and adult populations. Devices are designed, fitted, and adjusted by licensed prosthetists and orthotists across 19 outpatient clinic locations spanning the Chicago metropolitan area and northwest Indiana, with no app, API, or software platform layer disclosed.

The business operates a professional-services revenue model in which payment flows through health insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid, supplemented by direct patient payment; pricing is set per device based on individual assessment and is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on physician and surgeon referrals, hospital and rehabilitation center partnerships, insurance/Medicare/Medicaid in-network status, and patient word-of-mouth, supported by a consumer website, blog content, social media presence, and patient community events. Scheck & Siress has been acquired by and integrated into Hanger Clinic, with former locations now operating under the Hanger Clinic brand and benefiting from the larger network's specialists, clinical education infrastructure, and broader technology portfolio. As a result, Scheck & Siress no longer operates as an independent commercial entity, and its strategic trajectory is now governed by Hanger Clinic's national expansion strategy.
