This "Steel Blue" Breg Custom Knee Brace ready for pick up today! This veteran patient has an extremely unstable knee and was referred by their doctor for a custom rigid framed knee brace to ensure proper support for every day activities. They already wear a compression style brace for some swelling issues so will be able to wear this over top as needed. Remember that the treatment for one knee may differ from another knee! Our Certified Bracing Specialists will work with you individually to come up with a treatment solution that is right for you!

Did you know that some sports have bracing restrictions ? In Rugby , all rigid material and/or hinges must be enclosed. There are a number of ways to doing this, one being brace choice or with sports bracing covers. For more information on what you might be allowed to wear while playing your sport, get in touch with our bracing specialists!... @charlottetownrfc

This Breg Dynamic Custom Ligament Knee Brace arrived today for a local surgeon who is going to see how they cope with a brace BEFORE they choose surgery. The Dynamic feature of this brace assists with tibial translation when there is damage to the ACL ligament. This brace is also important to help secure the knee during weight bearing activities and to help reduce the risk of re-injury... Also, loved that this patient choose the Black Metallic color in a gloss finish! Looks great!

Abbi, our Bracing Specialist at our Fredericton clinic location, recently saw a patient with a fractured ulna bone (the long bone found in the forearm that stretched from the elbow to the smallest finger). She was referred for a Wrist Brace and we were about to get her into a Breg Wrist Brace! Here is what our patient had to saw: In addition to receiving kind, personable service, we found the price of the brace extremely reasonable. We thought it would have cost twice what it did! Also, we were not charged for the excellent service, just the brace. Thank you very much, the brace has been a life saver!

Sarah was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which is a joint hypermobility syndrome. Loose and unstable joints cause frequent dislocations, hyperextension, and early onset osteoarthritis.

Following up from Monday's post about Hybrid Prosthetic Braces, here is a Success Story from a patient of Certified Orthotist, Doug Iwasaki. This patient suffered multiple foot and ankle injuries on both sides due to work and sports related incidents. He subsequently had to have surgeries and revisions on both feet and ankles over the last 10 to 15 years and he was told further surgeries were no longer an option for him. He was in discussion about amputation due to signific...ant pain and difficulty walking. Doug heard of this patient’s story and thought he would be a great candidate for a Hybrid Prosthetic Brace. He saw this patient at our office for a full assessment and casting of both feet, ankles, and legs. He then had braces custom fabricated and worked with the team to ensure they were made according to this patient’s specific needs. During this time our team also worked with the insurance provider to have 100% of the cost covered. Once the braces were built, the patient came back in to see Doug for a full fitting. The patient was able to walk immediately with ease, with significantly less pain and felt much better about this option than having to consider an amputation! Check out our video of our patient walking with his brand-new Hybrid Prosthetic Brace over on our YouTube channel! https://youtu.be/V89If3sDgP0

Most people during the course of their life will experience lower back pain at least once and often the cause of the pain is unknown. When the lower back pain is long term and consistent then it is categorized as Chronic Lower Back Pain. Lower Back Pain can differ from person to person and the pain may be mild or it can be severe enough that you are not able to function properly. Symptoms may include a dull aching, sharp pains, a tingling or burning sensation, and weakness in the legs or feet are also a symptom. A back brace can be very beneficial in maintaining daily function and can be used to help with the management of both chronic and acute conditions.

Madison injured her foot in October 2019 which made her to realise that she needed a lot more support than what she had been used to! After her Physiotherapist recommended that she would benefit from a pair of Custom Orthotics, she scheduled an appointment with our one of our Certified Pedorthist. Here is what Madison had to say! The process was great! I was scheduled for an assessment right away. They made sure I would get the most out of my Custom Orthotics by asking the... right questions. For instance, my Custom Orthotics are built shorter than most so that I will still be able to wear them in pointed toe heels! (...) These Custom Orthotics give my injured foot the support I have needed for a while! I also feel more at ease walking to work and exercising! I am grateful Arthritis & Injury Care and all they help they’ve provided! They made the entire process simple and very efficient! See more
