Knee braces from ergonomic care – prevent and heal

The knee is one of the most stressed joints in the body. Almost all daily activities would be unthinkable without the knee joint. Walking, running, standing up – many movements depend on the knee.
Not only age, overweight, or sports can affect the knee joint. The complexity of the pivot-hinge joint makes it quite susceptible to injuries and wear. In addition to osteoarthritis and cartilage damage, ligament injuries or meniscal injuries are also not uncommon. Particularly in sports with high knee stress, such as football, squash, or skiing, unfortunately, injuries or overloads occur too often.

A knee brace can stabilize the injured or overloaded knee joint and thus help in the healing process. In any case, if you suspect a knee injury or experience pain, swelling, or cracking in the knee, you should consult a doctor. In many cases, braces are part of the conservative treatment options, but they can also help protect the knee after surgery.
Alternatively, braces are also suitable for prophylaxis and prevention. Especially in sports, a knee brace provides additional support and more stability. Sprains or other injuries occur less frequently when wearing a brace. If you want to wear a knee brace to protect your knee joint, come to us at the Munich orthopedic store Ergonomic Care – we are happy to advise you extensively on how a knee brace can help protect your knee.

Knee braces – cure, stabilize, prevent

Braces fulfill numerous different functions but should always be carefully and appropriately chosen. Basically, a brace should meet the following criteria:

  • It should be elastic/stretchable and at the same time stable to protect, but not restrict freedom of movement
  • Each brace has a certain compression effect, but should never constrict blood flow.
  • Good durability even under high load: A high-quality brace lasts up to one and a half years and is also easy to clean.

Since a good brace has to perform a lot, we also recommend getting extensive advice when purchasing one. Only this way can the optimal size and fit be ensured, and our trained Ergonomic Care staff always have some helpful tips for using and cleaning your knee brace.

How a knee brace helps

A brace serves several functions when worn on the knee. It supports and relieves, but also prevents incorrect or jerky movements that can cause injuries or lead to long-term misalignment. A brace can also cushion possible falls. It also provides – preferably uniform – compression pressure, which should not restrict blood flow, but helps to prevent fluid accumulation in the knee.

To fulfill all these functions, the brace should be fitted to the wearer. Age, gender, weight, and even the level of training and the sport performed play a big role in choosing the right knee brace. Therefore, you should get free advice before purchasing a knee brace at our orthopedic store.

Costs of a brace – do I need a prescription?

In many cases, for example, after injuries or even knee joint surgeries, braces are prescribed by a doctor or orthopedist. Then all you have to do is bring your prescription to us in downtown Munich, and together we will find the suitable brace. The costs are then covered by the health insurance (or possibly accident insurance). If you decide on a higher-quality brace after thorough consultation, an additional payment may be necessary.
However, you do not necessarily need a prescription. If you want to buy a knee brace for protection or prevention, you can always get a brace at your own expense at Ergonomic Care.
