Custom Braces & Orthoses

Need Custom Solutions? We Got It!

Here’s What We Know: The only way a support solution can be 100% effective is if it is a perfect fit. A knee brace, for example, that is the wrong size and fit can cause further pain and damage to the knee.

Our Solution: 100% custom-made Bauerfeind compression products designed to provide a tailored solution to your unique need. No two injuries are the same, which is why Bauerfeind never takes a standard approach to any problem. The company offers custom-made support products that range from custom-made knee braces to custom back braces, custom ankle braces, and more.

Its custom brace portfolio includes the award-winning GenuTrain, GenuTrain S, GenuTrain S Pro, and GenuTrain P3 braces.

Solutions We Provide

Bauerfeind knee braces and supports swiftly ease pain, provide stability, and enhance comfort. Whether it’s arthritis, ACL tears, surgery, or muscle strains causing knee issues, our products reduce pain and swelling while supporting mobility. You can trust Bauerfeind for less pain, more stability, and increased confidence in your movements. Bauerfeind’s unbeatable lineup of assistive devices has something for everyone. Bauerfeind’s medical and sports lines of braces and orthoses provide the ultimate solution for aesthetics and function.

Medical Compression / Compression Stockings

The use of compression socks benefits you by reducing swelling and improving circulation by providing additional support to your feet and legs. People typically wear compression socks to treat edema, varicose veins, and spider veins. Compression stockings come in different tension and pressure levels to accommodate different issues. And thankfully, many insurance companies cover compression stockings under your health benefits. Check with your extended health benefits provider before submitting your claim. 

Also, while in the past compression stockings were considered to be not so flattering, there are now many visually pleasing colors and patterns available to match your individual style. Finally, there’s a compression stocking you can wear for work and for play.

Here are some more examples of medical conditions that can be treated with compression stockings. 

  • Varicose Veins: These are swollen twisted veins that can be treated with compression stockings to reduce swelling and discomfort. 
  • Spider Veins: Spider veins or thread veins are similar to varicose veins, but are smaller in size. 
  • Pregnancy-related issues: Many pregnant women find that compression stocking helps them reduce foot swelling, especially in the third trimester. 

Other conditions that can benefit from medical compression stockings include: 

  • Lymphedema
  • Venous Insufficiency, or poor circulation in one’s legs
  • Post-thrombotic syndrome
  • Post-surgery recovery
  • Chronic venous diseases

Custom-Made Compression Products

Tired of Subpar Compression Socks?

Here’s What We Know: Our bodies are unique and can react differently to the average compression products on the market. We understand the trouble with searching for products that will fit well with your body. Oftentimes, the compression gradually bunches up or rolls up, pinches the skin, or is just uncomfortable.

Our Solution:  Bauerfeind custom-made compression products solve all these issues and more. They are designed in a way that promotes blood circulation and boosts oxygen supply to muscles, promoting better performance and accelerated regeneration. This type of circulation warms up your muscles which prevents injury.

The fabric Bauerfeind uses is light, breathable, and regulates temperature and moisture well. Enjoy supreme support with Bauerfeind custom compression socks and custom compression sleeves.

Solutions We Provide

With nearly a century of development, Bauerfeind has perfected the engineering and manufacturing of high-quality compression stockings, braces and supports. Bauerfeind’s years of knowledge and experience in the industry mean you will get the most comprehensive solutions for healing current injuries, relieving pain and preventing injuries in the future. Meanwhile, the Bauerfeind Sports Line offers the same great treatment and prevention, but with a 30% lighter, more breathable material to enhance your athletic performance.

Custom-Made Foot Orthotics

Do you need custom orthotics in Newmarket? Foot orthotics are custom-made inserts for your shoes that force your feet into correct alignment and improve posture by more evenly distributing weight and pressure.

Orthotics are advised for a number of health issues having to do with back pain, foot pain, flat foot, high arches, heel spurs, bunions and much more. Foot orthotics can improve many health conditions throughout your body, not just the feet. Orthotics’ ability to cushion and support the foot can also help reduce pressure on various joints and muscles, improving your mobility and relieving pain.

Custom-Made Orthopedic Shoes

If You Need Better Orthopedic Shoes, We Have Custom Solutions for You!

Here’s What We Know:  Your feet are the ultimate foundation for the rest of your body. Placing strain on your feet can cause hip and back issues. Ankle injuries happen quite frequently for many people. Unfortunately, the mistake many can make is continuing to wear shoes that place additional strain on your foot or ankle.

Our Solution:  An effective treatment for ankle and foot injuries is wearing custom orthopedic shoes that support your ankle as it heals and relieves pain.  Our orthopedic shoes are also a great option for injury prevention.

We now carry custom orthopedic shoes to give your feet the support they need with Bauerfeind. Why? Because these custom-made orthopedic shoes are designed with your foot in mind.
