... Not only that, guys, but their braces are schlock. Every good orthopaedist in America already always has technicians, physical therapists and suppliers of good durable medical equipment including braces, and can prescribe and fit one if you really need it. These TV advertisers will want you to get a doctor's scrip to cover the cost anyway, so it would be much better to get it from the doc, if you need one at all. A good rule of thumb is that if it advertises on TV or solicits you by phone, it's garbage... whether it's pillows, toys, braces, blenders, funeral insurance, or anything else... all schlock for the vulnerable who can least afford to be scammed. Often, a brace would do you more harm than good by weakening tendons and muscles, or acting as a tourniquet, and so on, overprotecting and immobilizing you. If you are really in pain, see a real MD. You may need something else, not a brace. It might not be muscles and joints, it could be something else entirely and your pain is just a symptom.
