A brace is a type of treatment for certain orthopedic conditions. It reduces movement in the injured area, relieves pressure, and stabilizes the joint, which all help the injury heal. A brace can also provide support to an injured area after surgery.
Braces are most commonly used on spine, knee, ankle, and elbow injuries. Your doctor may recommend using a brace during certain activities, like playing sports. This can either keep you safe after an injury or help prevent an injury.
