Most people experiencing knee pain aren’t sure what the best way is to heal from their pain. If you’re interested in finding out if a knee brace would be the right choice for you, keep reading and or you can watch the full video HERE.

Knee Braces

To become pain free, fit, and mobile again, a knee brace might be the most effective option for you. The best way to understand if you should be wearing a brace is to talk to a doctor, call or text us “KNEE PAIN” to 301-900-3226 at our office so that we can get to know your situation better and help you make a decision.


When you SHOULD wear a knee brace:

  1. If you have severe and intense pain

  2. After knee surgery

  3. After a traumatic injury, like a car accident



In these situations, a brace can help give you temporary support and more stability until you find a more permanent solution.


When you SHOULDN'T wear a knee brace:

  1. If you have chronic knee pain and are only using it as a quick fix or band aid

  2. If you’re only using it as a crutch when exercising or going for a long walk

  3. If you don’t need it

  4. If you’re wearing it for too long, this makes your knees weaker because your muscles have gone on a vacation and have become dependent on the brace

Knees braces are not meant to replace a permanent solution to your knee pain. They are meant to help bring stability and temporary relief, so if you’re ready for a solution that’s more long lasting, call or text “KNEE PAIN” to 301-900-3226 for a Knee Pain Diagnostic.
