Ankle Braces
Ankle braces are often used for the treatment of ankle sprains, Achilles tendonitis, and other injuries to the ankle. They are typically made of a sturdy material like plastic or metal to provide support for the ankle joint. The brace may also include straps, pads, or other features to reduce swelling or provide extra stability.
Ankle Braces Benefits
Ankle braces have been used for years as a way to provide support to the ankle after injury. Ankle braces have been found to reduce pain and swelling in the foot, ankle and calf areas. This can be a significant improvement for those who are recovering from an ankle injury.
Another benefit is that it helps prevent future injury, since it transfers forces from the unstable joint to other areas of the foot, which decreases the risk of injury.
