Knee Pain Can Be Helped with Braces, Supports
Sprains and Strains Among Ailments Helped
Every joint in the body is important, but perhaps none more so than the largest one – the knee joint. Knee pain is common because the joint bears the weight of the bulk of our body. The knee can be twisted or tweaked, with ligaments sprained, muscles strained and bones fractured. And don’t forget swelling, stiffness and the pain of arthritis.
Sprains and strains aren’t the same. A sprain results from stretching or tearing the ligament, which attaches bone to bone; a strain is a muscle tear. But they both hurt.
Sports-related knee injuries are common when the knee is pulled out of its normal range of motion, often from sudden or abrupt movements. Knee pain also comes from hard contact when you bump or fall on your knees.
The R.I.C.E. treatment protocol – rest, ice, compression and elevation – can provide relief for mild to moderate knee sprains or strains. In treating minor or major knee pain, health care professionals also may recommend using knee supports.
Core has developed a full line of products to support knee health, including a full line of Neoprene Supports, Elastic Braces and an easy on/easy off Front Closure Knee Support.
Core’s specialized knee supports address a variety of problems: sprains and strains, arthritis, ligament injuries, runner’s knee (irritation to the underside of the knee cap), patellar subluxation (an unstable knee cap) and jumper’s knee (patellar tendonitis). Supports also help with rehabilitation of knee injuries.
For everyday use, consider using the Performance Wrap, a four-way tensioning system that provides a custom fit for such problems as patellar subluxation, degenerative knees, jumper’s knee and tears in the meniscus, the cartilage that curves within the knee joint. The tension in the Performance Wrap can be easily adjusted to give maximum support.
Each knee support has a varying level of breathability, compression, flexibility and stability to match the condition and the lifestyle of the wearer.
Core’s products to alleviate or prevent knee pain are manufactured in the company’s own facilities to ensure quality control. The high-quality products, designed in concert with health professionals, are tested thoroughly to give you an effective product at an affordable price.
