How Do They Work?

Let’s start with some basic information. How do supports and braces work, exactly? These products are carefully designed to address multiple musculoskeletal issues in the body. They can help with proper positioning, correct alignment, and superior stability. Your doctor will likely prescribe a specific type of brace or support when you’re recovering from a surgery or injury to aid your healing process. On that note, it’s extremely important to consult a medical professional before you begin using a brace.

Different Types of Supports

There are various types of supports and braces for you to choose from, so it won’t be hard to find a match for your needs. One example is a knee/thigh/hip supporter. Many knee braces are designed to immobilize during recovery while others are designed to provide support or compression. Bracing is an ideal treatment option for patients with a torn ACL. Ankle supports are another great choice, which are for patients who suffered an ankle injury or had surgery.

If you’ve suffered a back injury, your doctor will more than likely prescribe a back supporter. One of the most common causes of back pain is a sprain or strain of the muscles or connective tissues in the lower back. Some of these supports and braces have been designed to prevent these injuries by promoting correct form when lifting. Many back braces are available to those who need to address posture issues. A post-operative brace is meant for restricting movement after a major procedure or surgery.
