What is Ortho Net?
Ortho Net is a plain-language informational resource covering orthopedic braces, supports, and splints. The site provides general guidance on ankle braces, knee braces, night splints, back supports, wrist braces, shoulder supports, elbow braces, foot orthotics, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinitis. All content is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
What this resource covers
Ortho Net was originally established as an orthopedic braces and supports information and product site. Today it serves as a plain-language guide to the most common types of orthopedic braces and supports: when they are used, how they work, how to choose among them, and how to use them correctly. The content is organized by body part and by condition to help you find the guidance relevant to your situation.
Important limitations of this content
All content on this site is general information, not medical advice. Orthopedic conditions vary widely in their nature and severity, and a brace that is appropriate for one person's ankle sprain may be entirely unsuitable for another person's ankle condition with the same surface-level symptoms. We encourage every visitor to confirm their diagnosis and brace selection with a licensed healthcare provider.
