Custom knee braces are used to treat a number of knee injuries including:

Patellofemoral Syndrome

How Custom Knee Braces Help

The force that is present in the degenerative part of the knee is greatly reduced, providing long-term pain relief and often eliminating the need for surgery or medication. When used to treat ligament issues, custom knee braces stabilize and protect, in a comfortable, lightweight and easy-to-adjust construction.
