There is nothing fun about knee pain. It can prevent you from enjoying your favorite activities, doing your job, or simply completing daily tasks. Fortunately, there are several ways to manage knee pain, some of which are affordable and non-invasive. A knee brace is one such tool we recommend to some of our patients at Advanced Pain Relief Clinic in Kitchener and Owen Sound.
Reducing Knee Pain
The knee pain that slows you down and limits how far you can walk may be due to surgery, sprains and strains, arthritis, previous injuries, or poor ergonomics. This is why we recommend proper diagnosis to find the solution to your pain. Knee braces stabilize and take some of the load off your knee. Knee braces reduce pain and allow you to walk more comfortably for longer periods. If your pain is caused by one of the following, a knee brace may relieve your lower extremities.
- Osteoarthritis
- Injury
- Surgery
- Swelling
Finding the Best Brace for Your Knee Pain
Although you can purchase an elastic or Velcro brace from most pharmacies, the most effective brace is one adequately fitted to your body. If you go with the one-size-fits-all option, you may further aggravate your knee pain. Our team at Advanced Pain Relief Clinic is familiar with several types of knee braces, including immobilizers, compression sleeves, and motion control braces. The various designs provide the best opportunity to find pain relief for your lower extremities.
Braces As Part of Holistic Care
Although a knee brace might be the only thing you need to get back on your feet when your knee acts up, it is often the least important part of your care plan. That is why it is crucial to talk to a medical professional. We might recommend physical therapy, stretches you can perform at home, or other treatment options to ensure a speedy recovery.
