KNEE BRACES AND OSTEOARTHRITIS
Knee braces are a non-surgical tool often recommended to help people with knee osteoarthritis manage pain and improve function. Research shows that wearing a brace can reduce pain and enhance physical function by redistributing stress away from the worn part of the joint and providing added stability.
