Inflammation causes or contributes to knee pain. When you have arthritis of the knee the pain emanates from an inflammation in the surrounding capsule, as the damaged cartilage itself does not have any nerve supply. The only way to regenerate the cartilage is by exercise, which is much more tolerable and achievable once inflammation and pain has been diminished.

The adjustable knee brace is also tubular in design, but incorporates an adjustable strap across the upper portion of the garment. The strap itself is elasticated, and attaches by virtue of a Velcro tab at each end. It can be completely detached from the garment if necessary. The strap can be tightened when exercising, and loosened (or removed) when relaxing or sleeping. As this product can disperse oedema and reduce inflammation, the adjustable strap can be quite beneficial in readjusting the brace as your knee returns to its normal size.

There is also a steel spring support in each side of this knee brace, designed to keep the brace properly positioned during exercise. Although it may well lend support to the knee, the product is designed purely for pain relief and the reduction of inflammation, and should not be relied upon as a support garment under any circumstances.
