TYPES OF BRACES, SPLINTS & SUPPORTS FOR SALE


Orthopedic splints, supports, and braces are designed to immobilize or stabilize joints, bones, ligaments, and tendons while recovering from injuries or surgical procedures. Orthotic devices are also commonly used to relieve pain and discomfort from chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis. For your shopping convenience, orthopedic supplies are classified by region of the body. For example, upper extremity braces for the wrists, hands, and elbows are commonly used for conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, or arthritis; while lower extremity braces like knee wraps and ankle splints offer support for daily activities, sports participation, and injury recovery. Other categories include cervical, abdominal, and back support, as well as posture correction, traction units, and orthopedic support pillows.

Please note: Before making an orthopedic purchase, consult your healthcare professional to discuss which orthotic product is best suited for your personal circumstances and condition.

Orthotics designed specifically for these body parts, and the maladies associated with them, like arm slings, shoulder stabilizers and immobilizers, elbow support braces, finger and thumb splints, and wrist braces or supports can provide much-needed pain relief as well as protection and stabilization during the healing process or when chronic conditions flare-up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


What exactly is orthopedics?

Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with trauma to the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. It also covers spine diseases, musculoskeletal infections, tumors, and sports injuries. Although also called orthopedic surgery, treatment can be nonsurgical as well. In that case, it involves the use of orthopedic supplies like ankle and foot braces, elastic bandages, back braces, splints, and even orthopedic footwear.

What are some common types of orthopedic injuries?

Orthopedic injuries can be broken down into fractures, sprains, dislocations, hernia, and overuse injuries. The most common injuries are ankle and foot sprains, stress and compression fractures, tennis elbow, dislocated shoulder, and ACL tears or strains. The list is completed by carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist fractures, torn meniscus, torn rotator cuff, and plantar fasciitis. Some of these injuries require surgical interventions, but most can be handled with painkillers and adequate orthopedic products like wrist braces, knee supports, elbow braces, or orthopedic pillows.

Why is orthopedics important?

Orthopedic surgeons and therapists help manage and treat bone, muscle, and joint pain. This is something that we all come across in our life multiple times and in various forms. In fact, orthopedic injuries are so common that some of the medical principles applied nowadays have been in use since primitive times. Ancient orthopedic equipment included splints to treat fractures, gypsum, poultices, and bandages. Some of these orthopedic products have made it into modern times and they still help us deal with the pain and increase our mobility.

What is the difference between orthopedics and orthotics?

Generally speaking, orthopedics is a branch of medicine dealing with the correction of the musculoskeletal system, while orthotics is a medical specialty that focuses on the design, manufacture, and application of orthoses. This is the generic name given to braces, splints, and other orthotic devices that help support the limbs or spine.

What are orthopedic shoes used for?

Orthopedic footwear can be mainly classified as cast shoes, orthopedic sandals, and orthotic shoes. Cast shoes are typically open-toed and they replace regular shoes after surgery or when recovering from an injury to the foot, ankle, or lower leg. Orthotic shoes help stabilize, support, and realign feet back to their natural position. They can also provide additional protection as part of post-operative procedures. Orthopedic sandals help you relax by gently massaging your feet when walking. Some designs are more fashion-forward, while others focus more on the benefits of reflexology. Reflexology sandals contain nodules that apply pressure to your soles in such a way that they help eliminate stress and reduce neck and shoulder tension.

What is an orthopedic brace?

Orthopedic braces are usually rigid medical devices that are meant to properly align, support, and protect bones, muscles, and joints after injury or trauma.

Ankle & Foot Braces: Ranging from lightweight elastic braces that help stabilize the ankle to more rigid ones designed for plantar fasciitis, foot fractures, ankle sprains, and soft tissue injuries.

Back Braces: Elastic braces usually provide lower back and abdominal support, while those that include moldable inserts are designed for extra support and protection after spinal surgery. Posture support braces help retrain the body to stand up straight and they are inconspicuous under most clothing.

Elbow Braces: Help treat painful conditions like tennis elbow or tendonitis.

Wrist Braces: Depending on material and design, they can be used for immobilizing injured thumbs, flexing fingers, supporting wrists with carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as for arthritis relief.

Neck Braces: Also known as cervical collars, they are usually made of foam, but tubular designs are preferred as they reduce heat retention.

Knee Supports: Ideal for jumper's knee, meniscal pain, and mild to moderate ACL tears, some can also be worn over clothing.

Do you need to have a prescription for orthotic devices or products?

Most orthotic products do not require a prescription. These include, but are not limited to, shoulder slings, finger and wrist splints, elastic or fabric abdominal supports, and over-the-counter inserts for extra comfort. Structural problems, however, must be addressed by professionals with custom-made orthotics that ensure a proper fit and functionality.
