Knee pain can make everyday activities difficult, from walking the dog to climbing stairs or playing sports.
But when is a knee brace actually necessary?
Common Reasons to Consider a Knee Brace
You may benefit from a professionally fitted knee brace if you have:
- ACL injuries
- Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Ligament instability
- Recurring swelling
- Knee pain during sports
A custom knee brace provides targeted support designed for your specific condition.
Knee Pain from Activity
In Calgary’s active community, we often see knee issues related to:
- Running
- Skiing
- Hiking
- Recreational sports
If your knee feels unstable, painful, or unreliable, it’s worth being assessed.
Custom vs Off-the-Shelf Braces
Store-bought braces may offer mild compression, but they are not built for your unique anatomy.
A properly fitted custom brace:
- Improves joint alignment
- Reduces strain
- Enhances stability
- Supports recovery
