Hand and Wrist

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A pinched nerve at the wrist that can lead to numbness, tingling and pain in the hand and fingers.

De Quervain's Syndrome

Pain and swelling of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.

$Recommended hand and wrist brace for fractures.$

Fractures

A bone that has broken fully, partially or hairline in the wrist, hand or lower arm.

Game Keepers Thumb

Damage to the ligament that keep the bones of your thumb together causing pain at the base of the thumb.

Skiers Thumb

Damage to the ligament that keep the bones of your thumb together causing pain at the base of the thumb.

Tendonitis

The tendons that move your hand and wrist become over used, inflamed and damaged.

Elbow

Bursitis (Popeye's Elbow)

Bursitis of the elbow is the inflammation of the small sac of fluid on the back of the elbow (funny Bone a.k.a Olecranon). It is sometimes called Popeye elbow.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Involves pressure or stretching of the ulnar nerve (also known as the “funny bone” nerve), which can cause numbness or tingling in the ring and small fingers, pain in the forearm, and/or weakness in the hand. The ulnar nerve runs in a groove on the inner side of the elbow.

Recommended elbow brace and support for Golfer's Syndrome or Medial Epicondilitis by Epicomed.

Golfer's Elbow

Medically known as medial epicondylitis is a painful condition involving the tendons that attach to the bone on the inside (medial) part of the elbow. The tendons that attach the muscle to the bone develop tiny micro tears.

Lateral Epicondylitis

More commonly known as “tennis elbow,” is a painful condition involving the tendons that attach to the bone on the outside (lateral) part of the elbow. The tendons that attach the muscle to the bone develop tiny micro tears.

Medial Epicondylitis

More commonly known as “golfers's elbow,” is a painful condition involving the tendons that attach to the bone on the inside (medial) part of the elbow. The tendons that attach the muscle to the bone develop tiny micro tears.

Tennis Elbow

Medically known as lateral epicondylitis is a painful condition involving the tendons that attach to the bone on the outside (lateral) part of the elbow. The tendons that attach the muscle to the bone develop tiny micro tears.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament

The ulnar collateral ligament is a band of tissue that connects the inside of your upper arm to the inside of your forearm. This ligament helps to support and stabilize your arm when you perform a motion such as throwing a ball.

Ulnar Nerve Compression

The ulnar nerve passes down the inside of the arm from the neck and then behind the elbow. Ulnar nerve entrapment is a condition where the ulnar nerve becomes physically trapped or pinched at the elbow or neck area, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness.

Back

SI Joint Problems (Sacro-Iliac)

There are two joints in your lower back, and they sit on each side of your spine. Their main job is to carry the weight of your upper body when you stand or walk and shift that load to your legs. They can get too loose and also get stuck.

Recommended back brace for Osteoarthritis OA.

Osteoarthritis (Back)

Osteoarthritis of the spine is common with aging. It involves two things. A breakdown of the cartilage in the facet joints, which link together the spine’s vertebrae. Abnormal bony growths, called osteophytes or bone spurs develop on the vertebrae.

Facet Syndrome

Facet joints allow for small movements between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Facet joint syndrome, or osteoarthritis, occurs when facet joints become worn or torn, creating bone spurs, or enlarging the joints.

Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb. When it becomes irritated it creates pain and discomfort.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. It can be caused by several problems, including overgrowth of bone or other tissue or by a herniated disc. When the spinal canal gets too narrow, it can squeeze and irritate your spinal cord or nearby nerve roots.

Herniated Disc

A Herniated disc is an abnormal bulge or breaking open of a spinal disc. These spinal disc are what separate your back bones (vertebrae). It may push on the nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the area where that nerve travels. Most herniated discs happen in the lower back.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is not really a disease but a term used to describe the normal changes in your spinal discs that separate your back bones (vertebrae). As the space between the vertebrae gets smaller, there is less padding between them, and the spine becomes less stable.

Lumbar Strain or Sprain

A sprained lower back is when the ligaments (connect bone to bone) are over stretched. A strained lower back affects the tendons and muscles. The tendons connect muscle to bone. The over stretching causes microscopic tears of varying degrees in these tissues.

Knees

Recommended knee brace or strap for Patella strain or sprain.

Patella Strain/Sprain

Four ligaments and the patella tendon support the patella (knee). A stretch or tear in the tendon is termed a “strain,” whereas a stretch or tear in one of the four ligaments is termed a “sprain”.

Post-Operational (Knee)

Following a variety of knee surgeries, a post-operational brace may be recommended to promote proper recovery by reducing or immobilizing the patella’s (knee) range of motion.

Knee Cap Dislocation

Dislocation refers to a condition in which the patella (kneecap) is completely displaced from its normal alignment. Majority of patella dislocations occur towards the lateral (outside) side of the knee.

Mal Tracking Knee Caps

A condition that produces abnormal stresses on the under-surface of the kneecap (patella) due to tracking abnormalities. Pain may vary from mild to severe discomfort.

Meniscus (Cartilage) Injury

The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that provides cushion between the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone). A meniscus injury may include symptoms of pain, swelling and stiffness, and difficulty bending/ straightening the patella (knee).

Recommended knee brace for Osteoarthritis OA the by VQ Orthocare.

Osteoarthritis (Knee)

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the knee and involves bone-on-bone rubbing of the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone).

MCL/LCL

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are located on the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) side of the knee. The attach to the distal (bottom) end of the femur (thighbone) and proximal (top) end of the tibia (shinbone) to play an important role in joint strength and stability. A torn MCL/LCL may include symptoms of pain, swelling and stiffness, tenderness along the inside/outside of the knee and instability.

ACL/PCL

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) attach at the distal (bottom) end of the femur (thighbone) and proximal (top) end of the tibia (shinbone). The ACL/PCL play an important role in stabilizing the patella (knee).

Bakers Cyst

Synovial fluid lubricates the knee to reduce friction and help the leg swing smoothly. A buildup of fluid may result in a fluid-filled cyst originating on the popliteal bursa (back of the knee). Some individuals may experience no pain, while others may notice swelling and inability to fully flex the knee.

Osgood-Schlatter

Inflammation below the knee at the point where the tendon from the kneecap (patella) attaches to the shinbone (tibia).

Chondromalacia

Articular cartilage covers the ends of bones inside a joint. Chondromalacia is most common in the knee and involves the softening and breakdown of this cartilage.

Patellofemoral Syndrome

Patellofemoral syndrome is a condition characterized by pain in front of the knee. Pain may vary from mild to severe discomfort.

Feet and Ankle

Recommended brace for ankle sprain by Levamed

Ankle Sprains

Ligaments are fibrous connective tissues that connect bone to bone. An injury to the ligaments that connect the bones of the leg to bones of the foot is an ankle sprain.

$Recommended brace for broken or fractured ankle by ASO.$

Broken Ankle (Fracture)

A crack, break or chip in one of three bones in the ankle. If multiple bones are broken, stability will be lost with the inability to walk

$Recommended foot brace for 5th Metatarsal fracture.$

5th Metatarsal Fracture

The foot consists of five metatarsal bones that span the arch of the foot. A fracture is a crack, break or chip to a metatarsal bone, typically on the 5th metatarsal, located on the outside of the foot that connects to the little toe.

Recommended foot brace and ankle support for Achilles tear or rupture by Bauerfeind.

Achilles Tear/Rupture

The Achilles tendon is the largest bone in your body and is responsible for connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. A complete or partly torn Achilles tendon can vary from a mild-to-severe burning pain and stiffness.

Achilles Tendonitis

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in your body and is responsible for connecting the calf muscles to the heel bone. Micro-tears in the tendon, called tendonitis, can result in stiffness, tenderness and pain.

Recommended shoe pads or cups to help with heel and foot spurs.

Heel Spurs

Commonly seen as a result of plantar fasciitis, a heel spur is a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel caused by a build up of calcium. Protrusion often causes a dull ache or sharp “pinprick” pain.

Recommended foot brace for Planar Fasciitis.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. The plantar fascia spans the length of the foot, attaching to the heel bone and metatarsals (toes). When the plantar fascia is strained it can cause swelling irritation and varied degrees of pain in the bottom of the foot.

Fallen Arches

The arch of the foot is formed by tarsal and metatarsal bones that allow the foot to support the weight of the body. Fallen arches is a condition in which the arches of the foot collapse, coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.

Flat Feet

The arch of the foot is formed by tarsal and metatarsal bones that allow the foot to support the weight of the body. Flat feet is a condition in which the foot has an arch that is lower than usual.

Legs

Venous Insufficiency

Venous insufficiency is a condition that occurs when the venous wall and/or valves in the leg veins are not working effectively, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart from the legs. This causes blood to “pool” or collect in these veins

Spider Veins

Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they’re smaller and found closer to the skin’s surface. Spider veins vary in size and often look like a spider’s web.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins that appear dark purple or blue in colour. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet.

Edema

Swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body’s tissues. Although Edema can affect any part of your body, it is primarily seen in the extremities of your body including legs, ankles and feet.
