Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center offers bracing and orthotics fittings for active adults and athletes from Jackson, MS, with the practice located about 1.1 miles away.
What Is Bracing & Orthotics Care?
Bracing and orthotics is a service offered at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center to help support joints, bones, and soft tissue during recovery, activity, or everyday movement. A brace or orthotic device is fitted to a specific part of the body, such as a knee, ankle, back, or foot, to provide external support.
This service is available to active adults and athletes of all ages who are evaluated by one of our providers. A brace or orthotic is never a stand-alone diagnosis or a substitute for a visit with a provider. It is one part of a broader plan a provider builds with each patient.
Families and athletes from Jackson, MS come to Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center because bracing and orthotics decisions follow a hands-on evaluation, not a guess from a catalog. Every fitting starts with a conversation about how the patient moves, works, or plays.
- Custom and off-the-shelf brace options
- Orthotic fittings for foot and ankle support
- Fittings guided by an in-office evaluation
What to Expect at a Bracing & Orthotics Visit
A bracing and orthotics visit at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center starts the same way most orthopedic visits do: with time for a provider to look at the area of concern and talk through how it is affecting daily activity or sport.
If a brace or orthotic is appropriate, the provider or a member of the care team measures and fits the device during the visit. Adjustments are made on the spot so the fit feels right before the patient leaves.
Patients usually leave with clear, plain-language instructions for wearing the device and a plan for a follow-up visit if one is needed. Questions about how a specific device should feel or fit are best answered in person, by the provider who fitted it.
- Evaluation of the area needing support
- Measuring and fitting during the same visit
- Plain-language wear instructions
- Follow-up scheduled as needed
Patients from around Jackson, MS often ask how long this takes. Because fittings happen the same day, most bracing and orthotics visits are completed in a single appointment.

Bracing and orthotics is often paired with other services offered at the practice, so a provider can look at the whole picture rather than one part of the body on its own.
