Custom Bracing in St. Catharines

How do custom and premade braces differ?

A custom knee or ankle brace is a supportive device designed specifically for your knee or ankle. Unlike pre-made braces, it's molded to perfectly fit your leg/ankle shape, offering targeted support for your specific injury or condition. This precise fit can improve comfort, range of motion, and potentially speed up healing!

At ProActive, we provide custom bracing to help you recover from injuries, help correct misalignments, recover from surgery safely, and more. We are proud to be your go-to for custom knee braces in St. Catharines!

What can I expect during my custom brace fitting?

Evaluation and assessment. The Chiropractor will assess your condition, range of motion, and activity level. They’ll ask about your injury, any recommendations from your specialist or surgeon, and what you need from your custom brace.

Measurements. A custom device is used to take detailed measurements or your precise leg contours, shape and size.

Fabrication. The measurement and assessment data is used to create a custom-made brace with specific materials and features to address your needs.

Fitting and Adjustments. Once the brace is fabricated, we will ensure a proper fit and make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and support.

What are conditions custom knee bracing can help with?

  • Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, etc.)

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Instability

  • Patellar tracking issues (kneecap misalignment)

  • Post-surgical support
