Injuries happen out-of-the-blue and it’s difficult to prepare for an accident that you can’t anticipate. Luckily, there are many methods to manage the pain that can continue after you are injured, as well as ongoing chronic pain that those with auto-immune disorders and other ailments regularly experience. Pain medication and topical treatments can go a long way, but to further enhance comfort specific to your body and your experience, wearable medical fittings that support your problems areas can be custom-made for heightened comfort and speedier recovery.

Your local independent pharmacy like the experts at Meds Pharmacy Group can provide a range of medical fittings and braces suited to support those with chronic pain and injury sufferers, under the banner of their Kingsway Medical Fitting Services. Wearable support devices include:

It’s important for pharmacies to work with well-known manufacturers of medical device and fitting brands for quality and accountability. Custom-made pieces add that extra level of comfort because they’re fit to your shape and accommodate your specific movements and needs. You can also find ready-made pieces, if preferred.

Supports and Braces

Supports and braces are aptly named because they both support and brace the weakened areas while they heal, and while you regain strength after an accident. Chronic pain suffers also appreciate the ongoing comfort of a custom-fit piece that may need to be worn frequently and sometimes daily.

When you are wearing the same device each day, it’s important that it fits well!

Additional help for pain can include physiotherapy and massage therapy treatments. Physiotherapists help patients with restoring strength, flexibility, balance, and motion during recovery, with simple, guided exercises and stretches that can be performed at home. They can also offer other recovery advice using individualized care plans.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapists can relieve tension and pain in targeted areas by working muscle and soft tissues and improve circulation throughout the body. A massage performed by a Registered Massage Therapist is a medical treatment, whereas a massage by a technician at a spa cannot be guaranteed to be licensed but is enjoyable and relaxing nonetheless.

Compounded medications for pain relief is another personally-tailored option to consider. Unlike generic drugstore pain pills, pharmaceutical compounded treatments are custom-made for the individual. They are designed to reduce side effects and not include anything extra, which can reduce the overall volume of medication necessary.

When you’re suffering from pain, either from an accident, a chronic condition, or a temporary ailment, it’s wise to seek out custom-made solutions. Medical fittings, wearables, and devices that are designed for your body and your pain management needs offer maximum comfort, hasten recovery, and offer ongoing daily support. Oral and topical pain medications can also be custom-made for you. Physiotherapists and Massage Therapists can work with you to design individualized plans for your circumstances.
