Supporting Your Body and Improving Your Life
Custom bracing is a type of medical device that is designed to support and stabilize different parts of the body. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions and injuries, including sports injuries, arthritis, carpal tunnel and more. Custom bracing is tailored to your specific needs, so you can be sure that you’re getting the right support and protection for your body.
What is Custom Bracing?
Momentum Health offers custom bracing, a specialized orthotic solution designed to meet your unique needs. Our custom braces are precisely tailored to your body’s dimensions and contours, providing optimal support and functionality.
Clinical Applications of Custom Bracing:
Custom bracing is frequently recommended for various conditions, particularly for the knee. This includes:
Osteoarthritis Offloaders
Shifting load away from the affected knee compartment, potentially reducing pain and improving joint function in osteoarthritis patients.
Knee Stabilizers
Providing external support to the knee joint, which can be beneficial for ligament injuries or instability.
Post-Surgical Devices
Protecting and stabilizing the knee during the healing process after surgery.
We also provide treatment with custom bracing for conditions that affect the back, neck, knees, ankles, thumb (thumb spica) and wrists.
