Yukon Biomechanics offers compression stockings for a wide variety of needs, from medical grade to fully custom made solutions. We have expert clinicians trained to measure and select the most appropriate product to manage your condition. A prescription and an appointment are required for this service.

As an exciting development, we are now offering non-prescription compression stockings from Sockwell, Medi, and Sigvaris. These premium stockings are perfect for travelling, pregnancy, jobs involving long periods of standing, and for everyday support, and are available without an appointment.

With options including merino wool, bamboo, and Sea Island cotton, these socks will keep your feet comfortable in all kinds of weather.

With colorful patterns, and more subtle options, we have the right stocking for you!

What is going on with these braces? No, your screen isn't tilted!
All of these AFOs incorporate 'dorsiflexion assist' ankle joints. They help patients who have drop foot or ankle weakness to lift up their foot and reduce dragging, tripping, and other gait compensations.

So pretty in pink! 🩷 These custom ESR AFOs store energy in one phase of gait and give it back in another, helping to spring them along. These shoes have a side zipper access and the amazing colour match compliments the braces so well! What a fun day at the clinic!

We've had a couple awesome kids through the clinic in the last week! The first little tyke started using a custom foot orthotic to match his brace on the other side. The second chose a serene purple butterfly transfer to gently float towards the spring weather 🦋🦋. As parents ourselves, nothing makes us smile more than helping kids live their best lives. 😊
