Less pain, without surgeryThanks to a custom brace

When you see a doctor for hand pain, you're typically given one of three options: rest and painkillers, an injection, or surgery. What many people don't realise is that there's an intermediate step that's often skipped: a custom brace.

A custom brace is not the same as an off-the-shelf brace.

A standard (ready-made) brace comes in a universal size. It can work fine for mild complaints, but often doesn't fit your unique hand well. A custom brace is made precisely for your hand, and because it fits properly, you'll actually wear it, which means it works better.

Why a custom brace?

Our impact study among 690 clients shows that:

37% avoided surgery with a custom brace.

Hand surgery means weeks of recovery, a cast, physiotherapy, and sometimes permanent loss of mobility.

22% use fewer painkillers or other medication thanks to their custom brace.

That means fewer side effects, less dependence on medication, and more control over your own body.

*Surgery is sometimes necessary, but rarely a first step.

How do I know if a brace is right for me?

Whether a brace is a good treatment for your complaints depends on a few things: where exactly the pain is, how long you've had it, what's causing it, and what you do with your hands day to day. That's different for everyone.

To help you get started quickly, we've created a short online test. You answer a few questions about your complaints and then receive an information package tailored specifically to your situation.
