Orthotics & Orthopedic Braces

Orthopedic braces - are they right for me?

If you suffer from joint injuries, dislocations and posture defects, or have recently undergone surgery, consider investing in an orthotic joint stabilizer, in order to help you quickly recover, reduce swelling, and pain. Continue reading and see if an orthotic stabilizer is right for you.

Who are orthopedic brace supports intended for?

Orthopedic braces are used in a number of situations, most commonly after sustaining an injury which leads to joint dysfunction. Joint stabilizers can also be used to protect against recurring injuries as well as work or sports related injuries, which most often affect the ankle joint.

Orthotics are also recommended after surgery, in the case of treating posture defects (both congenital and acquired), as well as for complications and certain diseases, like diabetes or after a stroke.

What are the benefits of an orthotic stabilizer?

Regardless of the type of stabilizer you choose, they all have similar benefits. They primarily act as joint stabilizers, immobilizing joints during daytime activities and at night - depending on the model and recommended usage. Orthotic joint supports guarantee proper positioning, which prevents any joint discomfort and ensures a quick recovery. This solution works best for treating injuries, and is a great substitute for plaster casts.

These orthoses can also be used to help treat posture defects and various dysplasia in children. Orthopedic orthoses for treating bunions work similarly, as they’re designed to lock the joint into the correct position and activate surrounding muscles, as well as helping the person maintain correct posture.

Another type of stabilizer is the orthopedic orthosis for the post-surgery period.This stabilizer has two distinct benefits - it prevents the joint from moving into an incorrect position, which could make the surgery be all for nothing, and it protects the surgical sutures from damage during everyday activities.

It is also worth mentioning that the orthopedic joint stabilizer for ankle, elbow and hallux support is designed to reduce swelling caused by inflammation. Joint braces also help to reduce pressure on tissues, which improves circulation and reduces pain.
