Braces and Supports
It is important to take complete care post surgery. As your movement is restricted, blood clots can develop and that may lead to complications requiring additional medical attention. In conjunction with exercises, doctors often recommend using braces and support such as compression stockings.

You can rest assured of quality and service, as we provide certified fitters. Our aim is to help you perfect your stride and provide you with a fitting process that will ensure the right size of brace or support. If you have undergone a surgical procedure or have been injured while playing a sport, visit Crestwood Pharmacy Ltd. for the brace or support our doctor or physiotherapist has recommended.
