How to Properly Use Braces, Sleeves, and Splints to Reduce Pain and Slow Joint Function Decline
Osteoarthritis (OA) causes inflammation in the joints. Over time, this inflammation can limit movement and make everyday activities painful. The knee is the most commonly affected joint, but OA can also impact the ankle, neck, shoulder, wrist, and back.
One common way to manage arthritis-related pain and instability is by using braces, sleeves, or splints. When used correctly, these supports can improve comfort, increase confidence, and help protect weakened joints.
