Physio, and a same day same office orthopaedic consultation, suggested that, yes, I would need a knee replacement sometime. However, they suggested that perhaps a brace could prolong that surgery significantly.

I haven’t walked this straight for 50 years.This brace has gone with me to Europe a couple of times, hiking in the Kananaskis and playing golf regularly, and I prefer walking my eighteen holes.

What an awesome experience! I have been using and wearing a knee brace of different designs and brands for over 30 yrs and the one that I had made at Lethbridge Orthotics is by far and large the best one ever. The fitting and measuring is state of the art, no molds or messy plaster, only tech at its best.

It was just so comfortable and it helped to get back to walking in a much more normal way. If you are struggling with the brace you have now, go and see these folks and I hope that your experience is as fantastic as mine has been.

Seeking a knee brace for both of my arthritic knees could have been a daunting task but the entire team here was incredible. Front staff made the administration process seamless and Jasmine, with her education and product knowledge, was outstanding. In addition the entire brace is made in-house and built for my fabulous knee issues. I felt like royalty.

My husband, and I both have custom knee braces for different conditions from Lethbridge Orthotics. The Administration, and Technicians are helpful, informative, and very personable. The custom brace immediately improved our quality of life. We are in our sixties, and can again enjoy our sports/activities without knee pain.

For patients who are ineligible for surgery, would like to delay it, or are stuck in surgery wait times, we have been successful in using the Terminator to allow many people to return to golfing, walking, hiking, and all the activities they enjoyed before arthritis slowed them down. We work in close consultation with orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists to find the best solution for each patient.

The main reason I like to use [these] braces is that it’s unique. There’s no other brace like it.

The brace is ideal for that.

The Lethbridge Orthotics braces really are the best of the best.”

Did you know?

Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of pain and disability in Canada.

Cartilage naturally wears out over time
Without cartilage, bone grinds on bone, leading to joint pain.

The Terminator realigns the knee joint to unload the affected compartment of the knee (inside or outside) and redistribute weight to reduce pain and inflammation.
