Body Braces

What are body braces?

Body braces are designed to provide extended support for specific areas in post-surgical conditions, as well as a preventative measure against various progressive nerve, muscle or joint conditions.

Occupation-related prolonged activities and repetitive movements often lead to muscle, joint or nerve damage which may require medical attention. With the use of body braces you can avoid such conditions by providing your body with ongoing support, compression and stability.

Also, the braces can assist in the treatment and management of both acute and chronic injuries and can help to accelerate healing and recovery. Moreover, they are an excellent tool to help prevent injury, or injury aggravation, as well as decrease the likelihood of injury recurrence.

Types and range of use

Braces are used primarily to control, stabilize or immobilize a joint. The stabilizing braces are designed to provide relief and support.

The functional braces help to restore mobility.

The multi-functional braces can be used as fixed or mobile supports, depending on patient’s treatment plan.

Some braces are designed to snug on the foot and can be worn without difficulty in almost any sturdy shoe. It can retain its therapeutic effectiveness even without a shoe and protects against lateral twisting movements.
