How does a brace help relieve joint pain?
Joint pain is caused by a variety of factors, including arthritis, tendonitis, and injury. When you have arthritis there is a great deal of friction within the joint, and this, in turn, causes inflammation and pain. A brace can sometimes stabilize the area and reduce the joint pain.
Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine carries some very high tech braces that are also called unloading braces for the knee in particular. An unloader brace will actually change the forces in the knee to alleviate knee joint pain. This is a great option for patients that have specific knee arthritis but want to stay active.
