5 Types of knee support braces for reducing knee pain and helping in quick healing.
If you are experiencing pain under your kneecap, a hinged knee brace is a good option since it provides patellar (kneecap) stabilization. It reduces the pressure under your kneecap and provides necessary support and compression so your knee can heal quickly.
It’s suitable for people of all ages. If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, you can get Medicare orthopedic knee braces that will cost you much lower than buying at retail price.
The knee is the largest joint of the body and is quite vulnerable to injuries. Athletes and other sportsmen often experience minor to major knee injuries.
A minor injury may cause swelling and pain in the knee. Compression knee braces are used to provide compression to the tissues around the knee to help control pain and swelling. They prevent micromovements while allowing you to perform your daily activities easily.
A knee immobilizer brace, as the name suggests, is used to keep the knee in a static position. This type of knee is especially used by people who have dislocated their knee or got an ACL or Meniscus tear injury. After reconstruction surgery, they need to be very careful and avoid dangerous movements that may damage the graft.
An unloader knee brace, as the name suggests, unloads the pressure off the injured area and relieves pain caused due to bone-on-bone pressure. If you’re experiencing knee pain due to arthritis and don’t want to undergo surgery, an unloader knee brace can help reduce pain and delay the need for surgery.
Knee pads are used mostly by athletes to wear during sports and protect the knee from getting injured. It reduces the injury risk, especially in those activities which involve direct blows such as skating, biking, skateboarding, etc.
