Braces

At Pivot Sport Medicine we offer a wide variety of off the shelf and custom bracing and splinting. With proper diagnosis and fitting, orthopaedic bracing can provide the support and stability needed during the healing process and help prevent further injury or re-injury.

Braces are typically used to restrict harmful motion and are used for a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow and a wide variety of knee injuries including Patello-Femoral Syndrome, Ligament Sprains and Osteoarthritis .

Braces may be functional, allowing some protected movement of joints. Splints are frequently rigid and do not allow motion. They may be modified in time to allow for mobility as healing progresses.

While “off the shelf” braces are available for many problems, custom arthritis and ligament stabilizing braces are preferred by most patients because of their superior fit and stability. Our Athletic Therapist or Occupational/Hand Therapist will help you select the brace that best fits your needs.
