Knee Braces and Splints

Knee Braces and Splints in Raleigh, NC

A well-fitted, properly prescribed brace or splint can provide the stability your joints, tendons, and bones need to heal from injury and reduce pain. However, braces that don’t fit or aren’t the right kind can cause more harm than good.

The board-certified orthopedists at Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine will evaluate whether you might benefit from wearing a brace or splint to reduce your pain and improve your symptoms and ensure you get the right fit for your needs. For more information, please contact our orthopedic clinic at (919) 719-2270 or schedule your appointment online today!

How does a brace help relieve joint pain?

Joint pain is caused by a variety of factors, including arthritis, tendonitis, and injury. When you have arthritis there is a great deal of friction within the joint, and this, in turn, causes inflammation and pain. A brace can sometimes stabilize the area and reduce the joint pain.

Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine carries some very high tech braces that are also called unloading braces for the knee in particular. An unloader brace will actually change the forces in the knee to alleviate knee joint pain. This is a great option for patients that have specific knee arthritis but want to stay active.

Discover If a Knee Brace or Splint is Right For You! 

In many cases, a good brace coupled with a viscosupplementation injection will give the patient long-lasting pain relief, and sometimes help them delay or avoid a knee replacement. At Wake Nonsurgical Otho, we offer highly-effective braces and splints for patients in Raleigh, Durham and Cary, NC. Our board-certified orthopedic specialist, Dr. Kanaan, will diagnose your symptoms and determine if a knee brace or splint is necessary for your recovery.
