Types of Braces
Some knee braces are designed to immobilize, others are intended to provide support, and still others are meant for compression. Bracing is a common form of treatment for those who have suffered a torn ACL. If you’ve injured your ankle or recently had surgery, there are braces available to treat that as well. Keep in mind that, by definition, orthopedic braces are intended for straightening or correcting problems in a patient’s muscles or skeletal system.
Back braces are another popular option. There are all types of back injuries that may call for a brace. One of the most common causes of back pain is straining or spraining the muscles or connective tissues that are located in the lower back. Additionally, some back braces offer support that’s meant to prevent these injuries through the promotion of using proper form when lifting. You might be surprised to learn that many back injuries are the result of improper form when lifting heavy objects.
Some back supports are specifically designed to assist with posture issues, back problems due to pregnancy, and other back issues that are the result of carrying excess weight. There are so many types of conditions that can affect how you stand, walk, and position your spine. Fortunately, there are plenty of back braces to help alleviate pain and offer support.
