The Tayco Ankle Brace: Can It Actually Fix Your Ankle Pain?

Could this be the best ankle brace for a sprain, arthritis or chronic instability? 🦶 Learn how the TayCo brace compares with a walking boot, lace-up brace and ankle-foot orthosis. Dr. Tom Biernacki, double board-certified podiatric surgeon at Balance Foot & Ankle, reviews the TayCo external ankle brace—an over-the-shoe brace designed to provide ankle stability while allowing the user to remain in supportive footwear. The TayCo brace may be an option for selected ankle sprains, chronic ankle instability, arthritis, stable fractures and postoperative conditions. However, it is not appropriate for every injury and should not replace a walking boot, cast or non-weight-bearing plan when greater immobilization is required.
