Custom Bracing
Orthopaedic braces are used to stabilize joints to keep them secure but to also allow desired & safe range of motion. They are also used after traumatic injuries and for athletes during competition to minimize risk of damage or injury.
Braces are intended to shift weight away from the affected areas of your joint in order to reduce pain and discomfort. Due to their compressive qualities braces help reduce swelling which often takes place after activity.
A full examination is performed to determine appropriate sizing and to determine which specific brace is right for you.
We provide Bauerfeind Braces for the following joints: Low Back, Knee, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, & Ankle.

Compression Stockings
Compressions stockings (compression socks) are specially made with medical grade compression 20-30 mmHg to provide a snug-fitting squeeze on the lower leg with graduated compression as it ascends the leg.
In other words, there is more compression at the ankle and less on the calf allowing an excess fluid to make its way towards the heart.
A full examination is performed to determine the compression level that is required & to make sure we get the right fit, model, and colour for you.

80% of blood runs through our veins. Veins transport the used blood to the heart and from the lungs, where it is oxygenated. This cycle repeats around 1500 in a single day.
Legs constantly have to work under high pressure due to the pull of gravity. Luckily, venous valves assist in preventing blood from flowing backwards. However when these valves fail blood begins to pool, called varicose veins.
Lack of exercise can also lead to enlarged veins. When this occurs the venous valves do not close correctly and not all of the blood is pumped towards the heart.
This results in blood pooling in the veins, king your legs feel achy and heavy. If the symptoms are ignored, the disease spreads and impacts overall health and normal functioning of your veins. This pooling can result in various conditions.
