To be assessed for a brace or to obtain a new orthosis, a written referral from a recognized health professional is required. Your insurance provider might require the referral to be from a physician. The original or a copy of the referral can be forwarded directly to our department.

If an existing device is in need of repair, clients can self-refer (no need for a written referral from a doctor). Please contact the department’s reception directly to arrange an appointment.
