Orthopedic Braces
Whether you're recovering from surgery or looking for an easy way to support joints while staying active or playing sports, you can find a selection of orthopedic braces at CVS.
Orthopedic Braces for Every Active Lifestyle
Wrist braces can offer more support as you swing a pickleball racket, and ankle braces keep your foot and ankle feeling supported while running across the court. Look for features like adjustability to ensure you stay comfortable. Some may have built-in light therapy attributes to assist with pain management. This might be helpful if you experience arthritis or tendinitis.
If you're recovering from knee or shoulder surgery, orthopedic braces can help stabilize joints as you start to increase movement.
Medical Braces for Specific Needs
Braces for your waist or back help you maintain good posture and may alleviate back pain. Some products provide stabilizing support, and others focus on compression of your lower back area. One particular orthopedic brace, the Copper Fit Rapid Relief Hot & Cold Therapy, offers both hot and cold therapy support for sore muscles. Heat, especially when applied with a heating pad, helps relieve muscle pain and stiffness, while icing may relieve inflammation.
Compression sleeves and wraps aid your recovery from injuries and help reduce swelling. These products slide over your knees and offer additional support. To provide targeted stability to muscles and joints, try kinesiology tape, either in rolls or precut strips. This adhesive athletic tape offers support in specific areas and can help make movement easier.
Choosing the Right Medical Brace
Selecting the right medical brace starts with knowing which body part you need to support and identifying when you might need to wear an orthopedic brace. For example, if you're playing basketball and want extra support for your knee, a knee sports brace might make sense. Pay attention to the materials and whether the brace is adjustable. Compression sleeves come in different sizes, while braces are typically adjustable to fit over the area comfortably.
If you're treating a specific injury or condition or recovering after surgery, your doctor may be able to recommend a specific type of supportive medical brace that's most effective for your specific situation.
