For those that suffer from chronic ankle pain or those that are prone to ankle injuries, this new brace serves two purposes.
The brace itself stabilizes the ankle to allow you to ambulate with less pain and in the case of injury allows the ankle to get better quicker.
Unlike other ankle braces on the market, the Air/Gel Stirrup also has an air/gel bladder inside. This bladder may be placed in the freezer prior to wearing to allow for cold therapy to the painful area which will reduce pain and swelling. The air/gel bladder is what separates this brace from other braces on the market.
For anyone who has ever tried walking on a freshly sprained ankle you know how difficult this can be. The application of cold to the injured area makes all the difference, by reducing inflammation.
The stirrup ankle brace will fit either the left or right ankle.
BUYING GUIDELINES
If you are 5'5" or smaller I would recommend the small size brace.
If you are 6'2" or smaller I would recommend the medium size brace.
If you are over 6'2" I would recommend the large brace.
The price for the ankle brace is $35.00 plus S+H

Dear Dr.Mitnick
I usually do my research on the Mayo clinic website. I think your website is the most informative site I have found when researching foot pain.
I thank you for putting together this incredible website.

First, I want to let you know that you have the best web site I've found related to foot issues. (The only thing I had difficulty finding was the "ask a question" page.)

I received the orthotics Monday afternoon and began wearing them Tuesday. After two days I would say that I have noticed a huge improvement in the discomfort I have been experiencing. My foot feels better than it has in months.

I greatly admire someone like you who would donate and dedicate so much time and effort to helping strangers with no compensation. Truly, it is uncommonly kind. And your site is so intelligently arranged.

I used to work for a podiatrist (front desk) back during summers in college years ago, so I know the benefits of good care. Again, I want to thank you for an EXCELLENT website. It was so great to get to your site (top of google search) and actually find all the answers I needed EASILY and QUICKLY! Clearly you put a ton of work into it and I really appreciate it.
All the best,

By the way, millions of websites could use yours as a guideline on how to organize information and make the site user-friendly. Kudos to you!
