Common Conditions Treated
Stability, Comfort, and Healing, One Step at a Time.
Tarsal braces provide stability, reduce pain, and support proper alignment of the hock joint. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or healing from an injury, these braces help limit harmful movement, promote healing, and improve overall mobility.
-
A chronic condition that causes joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain—common in aging pets. Tarsal braces reduce strain on the joint, ease discomfort, and support more stable movement.
-
Damage to the soft tissues that support the hock joint can result from overuse, trauma, or sudden movements. Braces help immobilize or support the area to allow healing and prevent further injury.
-
A weakening or failure of the joint’s structural support, often due to injury or aging. Tarsal braces provide external stability, helping maintain proper alignment and prevent the joint from collapsing.
-
A progressive condition that leads to the breakdown of cartilage and joint function. Bracing limits painful movement, maintains alignment, and slows the progression of the disease.
-
After orthopedic surgeries involving the hind leg or hock, braces offer controlled support to protect the healing area, reduce stress on the joint, and promote a smoother recovery.
-
Conditions affecting the nerves can lead to poor coordination, weakness, or dragging of the hind legs. Braces help support the limb, reduce abnormal motion, and improve mobility.
-
Small injuries from jumping, running, or slips can cause temporary pain and instability. A light-support brace reduces movement and speeds recovery while easing discomfort.
