Support for Every Shoulder Injury
Shoulder injuries can happen to anyone—whether you're diving for a ball during a game, taking a tumble, or simply overusing your arm. Common issues include:
- Strains and sprains
- Torn rotator cuff
- Dislocated shoulder
- Shoulder instability
If you're experiencing shoulder pain, the first step is to rest and limit movement. Immobilizing the area and wearing a shoulder brace can help you stay comfortable while waiting for a diagnosis or starting your treatment plan.
Types of Shoulder Braces and What They’re For
Not all shoulder braces are created equal. Here's a breakdown of common types and when they’re most helpful:
Shoulder Stabilizer
Perfect for both post-surgery recovery and return-to-sport protection, a shoulder stabilizer limits your range of motion and guards the AC joint against further injury. These braces are useful for:
- Dislocations
- Rotator cuff tears
- AC separations
- Muscle strains
Sling
A classic in post-op care, a sling helps keep your shoulder immobilized and reduces the risk of further damage. It’s a go-to choice for:
- Surgical recovery
- Significant shoulder trauma
- Short-term immobilization
Posture Support
This lightweight brace is worn while sitting, working, or during light activity. It gently pulls your shoulders back and aligns the clavicle to:
- Improve posture
- Relieve neck and shoulder tension
- Support clavicle recovery from strain or trauma
You can wear it over or under clothes, and its adjustable design ensures a comfortable, customized fit.
Don’t Ignore Shoulder Pain
If your shoulder is sore, stiff, or unstable, don’t push through the pain—see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Based on your condition, they might recommend a specific shoulder brace to aid in healing and keep you safely supported. And if you’re hoping to get back into sports or everyday activities, using the right brace will help reduce your risk of re-injury.
