A brace is provided for treatment of acromioclavicular dislocations. The brace includes a bandage member or body swathe which encircles the thorax and the involved upper arm, a resilient force focusing member or shoulder pad located atop the distal end of the clavicle, and reduction straps disposed between said members which operate through semblant pulleys to afford immobilization of the acromion and a multiplied reductive force on the dislocated clavicle whereby to hold the acromioclavicular joint in location.
