What will it do for me? Is it worth the investment?
Before you spend the money on anything, this is a valid question to ask yourself. A brace is not something that you buy everyday and you may be wondering why it’s a good investment. Here is some info to both educate you and hopefully answer your questions!
A brace is a medical device designed carefully to address musculoskeletal issues. Braces help properly align, correct the position, support and stabilize specific parts of your body such as your joints, muscles and bones. This can aid, and even expedite, total healing time.
Braces can be used to hold a fractured bone in place, to limit detrimental ranges of joint motion, and even prevent swelling through compression. They can also be used to facilitate muscle activity, stabilize a weak ligament or let a muscle rest. The uses of orthopaedic bracing are endless.
You should consider a brace for many reasons:
- If your medical professional recommended one
- If you joints feel unstable
- If you have chronic swelling in a joint
- If you want to prolong surgery (ex. ACL repair, total joint arthroplasty)
- If you are recovering from surgery
- If you have chronic pain in an area of your body
