BRACING YOU back to living.

Durable Medical Equipment

Orthopedic braces and supplies are referred to as Durable Medical Equipment (DME). Orthopedic DME’s are typically braces and supports for the arms, ankles, elbows, back and more. These orthotic devices are ideal for physical therapy, rehabilitation and preventative support.

How can bracing or support equipment help me?

If you suffer from chronic pain or have a condition that limits your capacity to properly move around, you may benefit from the use of a brace. Our fitted braces and supports can give you the freedom to live a more robust life and relieve discomfort by finding the perfect brace to suit your individual needs.

Our dedicated team will work with you and your doctor to determine the best brace for support or compression based on your specific requirements. Put an end to persistent pain, relieve injuries, and receive support to stay active now to get back to feeling your best!

FAQ

Will my insurance cover the Braces and other Durable Medical Equipment (DME) products my physician may prescribe?
