Elbow dysplasia usually affects both sides, and a dog who has developed a hygroma on one elbow is generally well on the way to one on the other, because the cause is how they lie down rather than anything about that particular joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it helps with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElbow dysplasia affecting both elbows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHygromas on one or both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflammation of the elbows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElbow luxation and instability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArthritis and arthrosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprains and strains of the collateral and annular ligaments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tissue injuries to the elbow joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChronic elbow pain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also covers dressings and topical medication on either side, protecting them from biting, licking and friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy one brace rather than two\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single Balto® Soft anchors across to the opposite front leg. Two of them would both be trying to anchor across the same chest, fighting each other for the same space. The Soft Plus anchors across the back and shoulders instead, so the load is shared and nothing is pulling against anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's built\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompressive adjustable padding\u003c\/strong\u003e over both elbows, increasing blood flow and reducing stiffness, pain and inflammation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable upper and lower straps\u003c\/strong\u003e that lengthen or shorten independently on each side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnchors across the back and shoulders\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than to the opposite limb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from non-neoprene fabric.
