What is osteoarthritis of the Knee?
Osteoarthritis of the knee happens when the cartilage in your knee joint breaks down, enabling the bones to rub together. The friction makes your knees hurt, become stiff and sometimes swell. While osteoarthritis in the knee can't be cured, there are many treatments to slow its progress and ease your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is unloading different than a normal knee brace/sleeve
An unloading knee brace is different than a normal knee brace/sleeve because it can assist in opening the joint space which re-distributes the weight/force away from the affected area. A normal knee brace does not provide this biomechanical change.
Will it stop me from bending my knee?
No, it would not stop you from bending your knees. If does feel constricting is usually means the brace is on too tight or not in the right placement.
How long before I see improvements in my pain and mobility?
Some people feel immediate relief. For some the break-in process can take a little longer time to feel the relief. We often find that users are able to do more through out the day because of the benefits the brace offers.
What if it does not fit properly? What is the warranty?
We always troubleshoot and make the necessary adjustments. The warranty varies across each unloading brace company. The bottom line is that we want you to wear the brace because they work! We will do whatever it takes to make sure the experience is good.
Can I wear the brace under my pants?
Yes, we recommend wearing the brace right on the skin.
Will it make my knee weaker?
No, it will not make the knee weaker.
When and where should I wear the brace?
The brace should be worn at any time you are doing weight-bearing activities. This includes standing, walking, running, or any other physical activity requiring movement. For example we have clients that use it all day and some that use it just to take the dog for a walk.

Proper Diagnosis
Where do I begin?
Doctor's Examination
A medical professional (like your family doctor) can accurately and effectively diagnose osteoarthritis. If you are experiencing chronic knee or hip pain and think it may be due to osteoarthritis, it is best to speak with your doctor as soon as possible. Having X-ray results is also very informative and gives us a better understanding of your knee. Other potential examinations are CT Scans and MRI’s.
