What each kind of supplier stocks
Medical supply store
Home medical equipment and durable medical equipment (DME) dealers. This is the category most likely to stock more than one style of crutch and to fit them for you.
Usually carries underarm and forearm crutches, walkers, canes, and knee scooters. Most bill Medicare and private insurance, which needs a prescription from your doctor.
Pharmacy
Retail and community pharmacies. The fastest same-day option in most towns, and the one open latest.
Typically stocks basic aluminum underarm crutches off the shelf, sometimes a cane or a folding walker. Selection is thin and forearm crutches are rare.
Orthotics & prosthetics
O&P practices that fabricate and fit braces, prosthetic limbs, and custom supports.
The right call if you need crutches long term or need them fitted around a brace or prosthesis. Often carries forearm crutches that retail pharmacies never stock.
