Shoulder Braces from Ergonomic Care – Support and Therapy for Shoulder Issues
A shoulder brace protects and assists the stressed ball joint in various ailments. As one of the most mobile and simultaneously active joints, the shoulder, with its various ligaments, tendons, and muscles, is quite prone to issues. Starting from tension and inflammations to tendon and muscle tears, many conditions can lead to pain in the shoulder. The shoulder is also susceptible to arthritis and rheumatism. Lastly, injuries during sports or work can also make wearing a shoulder brace sensible.
No matter what ailments or symptoms you come to us with, at Ergonomic Care we offer numerous designs and variations of shoulder braces that provide appropriate support to your shoulder and can alleviate pain. On-site at our branch at Sendlinger Tor, we also practice the correct application of the shoulder brace during the consultation. Providing good care and a more pain-free life is our claim at Ergonomic Care.
Relief and Pain Reduction through Suitable Shoulder Braces
A shoulder brace supports the sensitive joint in numerous pre-existing conditions and overexertions. These can be triggered by one-sided and too strenuous movements (e.g., at work, while renovating, or during sports). As a complex ball joint, the shoulder is susceptible to irritations or micro-injuries. And conditions such as arthritis can also lead to shoulder pain.
A shoulder brace fulfills the following functions, regardless of the underlying condition:
- Support of the shoulder joint through light (but not complete) immobilization
- Relief during movements and improvement of guidance
- Light compression helps against fluid accumulation
- Warmth and massage from the brace are especially helpful in inflammations and rheumatic diseases
Depending on the design and price range, shoulder braces are made from a polyester or fine knit blend. Neoprene can also be used. The modern materials not only provide optimal support, but also keep the shoulder joint warm. A gentle massage function completes the “package”, promoting circulation and is particularly pleasant in cases of inflammations or arthritis. Pain in the shoulder and arm can thus be alleviated.
Why a Shoulder Brace Should Be Purchased at a Medical Supply Store
Choosing the right shoulder brace is very important, as otherwise, the mobility can be too severely restricted, leading to uncomfortable pressure points or the supportive function not engaging as it should. In the worst case, unsuitable braces can worsen the pain.
Particularly with regard to size and circumference, the selection should be made carefully. Furthermore, women require different braces than men. The correct fit of the shoulder brace is always crucial for success.
In our medical supply store, we carry a wide range of shoulder braces in various price ranges. Our service includes not only consultation and measuring the shoulder but also practicing the correct application of the shoulder brace. A shoulder brace can be worn either over or under clothing. We will gladly show you in our Munich branch how to wrap the brace around the shoulder or pull it over the arm and fasten it correctly.
Difference Between Shoulder Brace and Shoulder Orthosis
A shoulder brace, unlike an orthosis, does not completely restrict the mobility of the shoulder. It is thus more of a protective and supportive measure. After a shoulder surgery, a dislocated shoulder joint, and some other conditions, however, it might be sensible to completely immobilize the shoulder. In such a case, one would opt for a shoulder orthosis. Of course, we carry both in our inventory at Ergonomic Care.
A shoulder orthosis should generally be fitted by one of our experienced orthopedic technicians on site. If you have a prescription from your doctor, the health insurance will cover the costs.

The first medical supply store that could help me.
Due to my tendon sheath inflammation in both arms, no medical supply store had the braces, but here at Ergonomic Care, I was even offered a more affordable option and it was ordered immediately.
At pickup, everything went smoothly and I was already helped immediately. The service – from consultation, ordering, and pickup – was top! Many thanks again and I am always happy to come back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a prescription for a shoulder brace?
For many shoulder issues, wearing a brace is a good solution that reduces pain. As part of conservative therapy, braces are therefore often prescribed by doctors and orthopedists. In this case, your health insurance will cover the costs. It is therefore worth asking your doctor about it.
Can I wear shoulder braces during sports?
There are numerous models that are also suitable for wearing during sports, both to prevent exacerbating existing shoulder issues and as a preventative measure. In the latter case, however, the cost of the brace usually has to be paid by yourself. We are happy to advise you on price, design, and function of the shoulder brace.
Can I wear the shoulder brace while sleeping?
For some conditions, the pain in the shoulder is particularly severe at night. Many models are therefore especially suitable for wearing overnight. Our staff will be happy to advise you and also provide additional tips for relief at night. We also carry relieving pillows, and we are happy to advise you on these as well.
