Knee brace in brandon
6/29/2016 at 4:09 PM

I know that Home health care Pharmacy on Victoria has knee braces, its where i got my current one. Is there another place IN Brandon that has them? Someone told me once and I can't remember what the place is called. The brace has to be a stabilizer brace with metal bars on both sides of the knee. Thank for the help in advance.

I would want to go to a therapist to have is fitted for me. Maybe try BPOTC (Brandon Private Occupational Therapy Clinic).

I got mine here as well. Had my dr write me a pres:cription for one and was given it for free at this location. She said that Mb health pays for it, you don't even 3rd party healthcare.

Did the same for my daughter. Was told MB health will cover them every two years I believe.

You can get them from Anderson House or the one at he Brandon Clinic but you need a Dr.s note to be covered by the MB Health program.
