|Choosing an elbow brace
Elbow wraps, supports and braces come in several styles and materials to help treat tennis elbow, weak muscles, bursitis, elbow joint pain, ulnar nerve pain and tendonitis.
Wraps and Straps
Elbow straps are designed to allow continued activity by helping to alleviate stress to the tendon of the elbow.
Spandex wraps provide adjustable compression & added support to a weak & ailing elbow.
Supports
Elbow supports help immobilize an injured elbow while you are recovering from the injury. Supports provide compression and helps retain heat. Neoprene supports retain body heat, which aids in the recovery period and helps reduce swelling
For mild and mild-moderate strains and sprains, use an elbow support while healing, and also afterwards to help prevent re-injury. They are great for everyday use while exercising or working.
Braces
Varying styles of elbow brace offer different features:
- Adjustable straps alleviate stress to the tendons
- Antimicrobial treatment bound to the inner and outer lining of the braces inhibits bacterial growth. It is intended to protect the product and does not extent protection to the skin.
- Neoprene blend material retains body heat that helps increase circulation
- Breathable fabrics such as woven cotton release unwanted moisture
