How Can a Knee Brace Help Me?

Knee bracing can play an important role in reducing pain, improving stability, and supporting healing for a wide range of knee conditions. A knee brace may help you with the following:

  • Acute knee injury

  • Chronic knee pain or instability

  • Added confidence to help prevent re-injury

  • Not a surgical candidate 

 

Types Of Knee Bracing

Custom Knee Bracing

Custom knee braces are designed specifically for your knee and leg shape when an non-custom knee brace does not fit. They are also typically recommended when a higher level of support, control, or durability is required. 

Custom knee bracing may be appropriate for:

  • Moderate to severe ligament injuries

  • Advanced knee osteoarthritis

  • Long-term or high-demand use

  • Irregular leg shapes or sizing challenges

These braces are measured and fabricated to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and effectiveness, and are often used during daily activities, work, or sport.

 

 

Non-Custom Knee Bracing

Non-custom knee braces are pre-manufactured braces that come in standard sizes. When properly fitted, they can provide effective support for many common knee conditions.

Non-custom knee bracing may be appropriate for:

  • Mild to moderate ligament support

  • Patellar tracking or kneecap instability

  • Swelling and inflammation

  • Activity-related knee pain

These braces are typically quicker to dispense and can be an effective option when less intensive support is required.

Conditions That Knee Bracing Can Help

Ligament injuries

  • Support injured ligaments by improving stability and limiting excessive movement during daily activities or sport. Common ligament injuries include:

    • ACL

    • MCL

    • LCL

    • PCL

Cartilage damage

  • Help reduce stress on the knee during movement. Common issues include:

    • Medial meniscus tears

    • Lateral meniscus tears

    • Degenerative cartilage changes

Knee osteoarthritis

  • Help reduce pain from joint space compression with an unloader brace. Types include:

    • Medial compartment

    • Lateral compartment

    • Tricompartmental

Patellar (kneecap) instability

  • Guide and support the kneecap to improve tracking and reduce pain or the risk of dislocation.

  • Inflammation and swelling
    Medical-grade compression sleeves help manage swelling, reduce irritation, and provide mild support during activity or recovery.
