April 10, 2025 – Tariff war update
We would like to update you on the steps we are taking to manage recent tariff changes and minimize their impact on you and your patients.
Dear Valued Customer,
We would like to update you on the steps we are taking to manage recent tariff changes and minimize their impact on you and your patients.
As you know, Canada has imposed a reciprocal tariff on many products imported from the US, resulting in increased pricing. Additionally, pricing on many products entering Canada via the US will also see increases as the US assigns tariffs on their own imports.
As a first step, and to ensure transparency, here are some of the measures we are putting in place:
- All products that we carry that are currently affected by these tariffs will now display the symbol “ ” (for tariff) on our website.
- This new symbol will indicate that the price shown has been adjusted to include a tariff. When available, we will offer comparable, alternative products and options that may be exempt from tariffs due to their country of origin.
- Canadian-made products will therefore be displayed clearly with the symbol “ ” to promote local and national initiatives that support Canadian values, resiliency, and solidarity.
We recognize that these changes may evoke a range of sentiments. Whether you’re frustrated by the challenges or appreciate our ongoing relationships with American suppliers, please know that our approach is customer-driven. While OrthoCanada values its long-standing relationships and friendships with our American partners, we will not hesitate to find Canadian-made or non-tariffed quality alternatives to support our customers’ preferences.
Please note that all or most of our other exclusive distribution agreements with international industry leaders outside of the US, which account for over 60% of our imports, are shielded from this US tariff and trade war.
As we continue to build on these partnerships, your needs and your patients’ care will also continue to be at the forefront of everything we do.
Thank you for your continued confidence in us.

OrthoCanada Medical (OrthoCanada), a Canadian leader in the distribution of physiotherapy supplies and equipment, is proud to announce the acquisition of Clinic Supplies Canada (CSC), a provider of rehab supplies to the physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage industry in Canada.
Going forward, both companies will retain their respective management teams and continue to offer the same great level of sales and customer service. Both websites will also continue to operate individually. CSC customers can expect an expansion of CSC’s product selection as well as faster nationwide delivery times as the two companies’ supply chains are integrated in the coming months.
Headquartered in Vancouver (BC) and having over 3,000 products in their supply chain, CSC is currently serving over 1,000 physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Canada. The company has built one of the most advanced B2B e-commerce platforms in the Canadian rehabilitation market. CSC also owns a biomedical lab for the maintenance and repair of electrical modalities in Vancouver and is known for its education and leadership program for clinic owners.
