Best Knee supports for Arthritis

Here we explain knee supports for Arthritis or Osteoarthritis. This is wear and tear of the joints which causes pain, swelling and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease which mostly affects hands feet and wrists.

With such a huge range of knee supports available it can be a minefield choosing the right one. The best arthritic knee support for you depends on a number of factors including comfort, support level and how bad your arthritis is and how easy the support is to put on.

Elastic knee supports for Arthritis

Elastic knee sleeves offer moderate support though compression but are probably the most comfortable to wear long term. They are breathable and do not retain body heat in the way a Neoprene knee support would. As a result you get less sweaty in them.

Compression Knee Support

The Compression Knee Support has a seamless circular and tailored design which prevents bunching around the back of the knee. This makes it more comfortable to wear for long periods.

I need even more support

If you feel you need a higher level knee support for arthritis then the Advanced Compression Knee Support provides all the benefits of a technical elastic knee support but has additional straps and springs to increase the support level. Crossover straps wrap around the knee and are adjusted to suit. Surgical springs along the sides help increase lateral (sideways) support.

Neoprene knee supports for arthritis

Neoprene is a rubber based material. Its elastic properties make it create for supporting joints with compression. It retains body heat so if you suffer from joint pain in the cold then the comfort of a Neoprene Knee Support is for you.

Wrap around knee supports

As the name suggests a wrap around knee support wraps around the leg so if you have trouble pulling on a conventional support this is easier.

The Wraparound Knee Brace is made of neoprene and is easily applied by wrapping around your knee then adjusting the compression level with the hook and loop straps.

I need even more support

Again, if you prefer to go for an even higher support level then the Wraparound Knee Brace has all the advantages of the basic Wraparound Knee Support but with additional adjustable crossover straps for maximum support, yet still allowing comfortable movement.
