THE INSPIRATION

Balance Sock is nothing like the typical therapeutic sock you can buy virtually anywhere — not by a long shot. Dr. Michael Hames began to develop the idea when he saw an advertisement for a sock that claimed to improve balance, but was disappointed to learn that it was no different from ordinary compression socks.

In his practice, Dr. Hames works with many patients who experience balance issues, and the usual remedy is through bracing or physical therapy. He wondered whether a completely unique sock could provide a simpler, more effective solution. After many months of design, development and refinement, Dr. Hames tested his breakthrough invention with approximately 50 patients in clinical studies — and the results were astounding: Wearers experienced immediate, real-time balance improvement, while nearly 95% reported improved or complete relief from neuropathy symptoms. 

Now our proprietary Balance Sock design is available in three distinct models to fit your needs.
