Braces & supports: Essential first aid supplies
Did you know that ankle sprains are reportedly one of the most common injuries, particularly in active individuals? Thankfully, they can be treated in various ways. One effective strategy is the use of braces and supports, which may help stabilise injuries and provide support during recovery.
Whether you need a knee brace, ankle brace, or wrist support, having these items in your first aid kit at home and in the car is a smart move. At Healthylife, we have a substantial range of braces and supports for you to explore.
What are braces & supports?
Wondering exactly what braces and supports are? This is the general term given to a range of medical supports that are used to help compress, bandage or support the body.
For example, braces can be used to compress or bandage a sprain or strain firmly. For conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, especially in mild to moderate cases, conservative treatment with splinting may provide relief and support for the wrist. It’s best to seek advice from your healthcare professional.
What are the different types of braces & supports?
Various types of braces and supports are available to address different needs. Ankle sleeves or taping, for example, may provide compression and stability for sprained ankles. Tubular support bandages, available in a range of sizes, are versatile options, while thumb braces may help stabilise the thumb joint, especially in cases of sprains or repetitive strain injuries.
It’s important to seek advice from your healthcare professional to discuss treatment options and to ensure you are using the right brace for your specific needs.
What is the purpose of braces and supports?
Braces and supports serve several purposes in injury management. Splinting, for example, is used for various conditions of the forearm, wrist and hand. This involves immobilising the affected area to promote healing and prevent further injury. Braces may also help stabilise the knee and ankle joint.
How do you use a support brace?
It is important to use a support brace correctly. Always follow the instructions provided with the brace. If you experience any discomfort, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare professional. They can provide guidance on proper usage and suggest alternative treatment options if required.
At Healthylife, we offer a wide range of braces and supports, from knee braces to ankle braces. Whether you are dealing with a sprained ankle, a knee injury or even carpal tunnel syndrome, having the right support on hand could be a key component of your first aid kit.
