DonJoy

I just wanted to thank you all very much. I served four years in the USMC in the infantry, and I completed 2 combat tours (Iraq and Afghanistan.) While in Afghanistan our constant patrols and strenuous missions took a tool on my knee. I got out in 2011 and the VA was quick to operate on my knee. However, it only made my pain worse. I've suffered with severe pain and limited activity for 3 years. I'm thankful to now be able to keep up with my children and their active lifestyles. My family and I thank you for your great product (I've been through enough to know a great one when I find one.) Semper Fi.

I began my journey with DJO Global with the Defiance brace. The Defiance brace brought me strength, confidence and support. I was wearing the Defiance brace to help me recover from ACL and meniscus repair surgery. With the Defiance brace I felt I could run father, harder and with more confidence.While visiting DJO Global, I was introduced to the A22. The A22 is just what I needed. Like the Defiance brace, the A22 offers support, strength and confidence, but with a great deal less weight and bulkiness. Though the A22 is slimmer, you do not lose any strength or stability. I honestly forget I am wearing the A22 as I run or go through a major workout session. As I continue on my journey to be the best I can be, the A22 will definitely help me reach that destination."

I have always wanted to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and decided this was the year. I spent multiple months training and preparing to summit the "Roof of Africa" when I tore my medial meniscus just weeks before realizing my dream. The MRI also showed I have grade 3 degeneration of the cartilage in my right knee, this was a result of surgery on my ACL&MCL 20 years ago. Needless to say, I was in shock about the diagnosis. I spoke with my orthopedist and he recommended I speak with a DonJoy representative about the situation. The OA Nano knee brace was recommended to help with my osteoarthritis and meniscus, so I gave it a shot. I was surprised how light and durable the OA Nano with the magnesium frame was, but more importantly the stability it provided my knee. This gave me a renewed confidence, so I boarded the plane for Tanzania. My tour group and operators were incredibly supportive and the OA Nano was with me every step of the way – literally – on my grueling 6-day trek to the summit and back. In the end, the journey was even better than I could have ever dreamed of.
