The shoulder surgeons at OrthoTexas, Irving may recommend any of the following types of brace to the patients:

Basic Support Level: These are generally smaller in size and are made of an elastic material. A basic support brace is comfortable to wear all-day long and is ideal to support a mildly injured shoulder joint.

Moderate Support Level: These usually cover a major portion of the joint and are less elastic. They offer more support than a basic level brace but allow for slight movement of the shoulder.

High Support Level: These should be used to recover from major injuries or surgeries that require complete immobilization of the shoulder joint. High support braces are intended to hold the shoulder firmly for a faster healing.
