Ankle Braces, Knee Braces & Wrist Braces

There are numerous ankle brace, knee brace and wrist brace options: splints, stirrups, wraps, supports and braces. Ankle sprains are the most common sports-related injury. However, knee and wrist injuries are also very common, and may result in the need for a knee brace or wrist brace. A bracing specialist can help you choose an ankle brace, knee brace or wrist brace to suit your needs. Knee injuries are incredibly common in sports. The ligaments in the knee are like ropes that provide stability to the joints and also connect bones. There are four main ligaments in the knee:

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
The medial collateral ligament (MCL)
The lateral collateral ligament (LCL)

Two popular knee braces are the Generation II Extreme, the Ossur Unloader XT and the Donjoy Defiance; both provide you with support for the ACL, MCL LCL and PCL.

Sports Braces

If you've already suffered a sports injury, sports braces can help you heal and support your injury when you make a return to sport. Chronic injury is a large concern - if you suffer a sports injury you're at risk of re-injury, especially if you don't allow it to properly heal. Many athletes wear sports braces while they play, in order to support an old injury.
