Sleeve provides supportive stability

Our Bursitis Brace features a silicone pad that surrounds the kneecap to help stabilize and protect your weak knee. The stabilization pad also helps provide a soothing massage to the surrounding tissue when the sleeve is worn. Each side of the compression sleeve has flexible but supportive stays for easy personalized fit and application. Also, thanks to the stable support, you don't need to worry about any slipping or sliding of the stand when wearing it all day.

How does this compression knee sleeve help with bursitis?

To understand how best to manage bursitis pain, it's helpful to understand exactly what knee bursitis is all about. Bursitis is inflammation or irritation of one or more bursae. A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac located near the knee joint that reduces friction and cushions pressure points between the muscles, tendons, and bones of the knee. When the bursa becomes inflamed or swollen, it can cause more problems, causing knee pain and bone-to-bone friction. Pain can be felt above, below, behind, or in front of the kneecap, and in some cases, inside and outside the patella.

So, how do you get rid of knee pain? The first step is to reduce swelling and inflammation. Compression sleeves help relieve pressure on the knee and provide proper blood flow, preventing and reducing any swelling from occurring. The silicone ring protects, supports and keeps your kneecap in place when you are up and active.

What are the different types of knee bursitis?

In order to find the best way to recover from knee pain, it is important to fully understand what exactly is causing the pain symptoms you are experiencing. When it comes to knee bursitis, not only are there multiple types of bursitis, but the disease itself has a range of different names—so let's break it down. The different types of bursitis refer directly to the bursa, the fluid-filled sac between the tendon and bone or skin and tendon, which is located around the patella.

PES ANSERINE Bursitis

The most basic type of knee bursitis is also known as goosefoot bursitis. The name comes from where the bursitis occurs, the pes anserine bursa, which is located between the tibia and the three tendons of the hamstrings on the inside of the knee.

suprapatellar bursitis

Suprapatellar bursitis refers to irritation and swelling of the bursa located between the leg bone and the quadriceps tendon. This can cause pain when bending or fully extending the knee. This type of bursitis can be caused by a direct blow to the kneecap or by repeated stress and overuse of exercise.

prepatellar bursitis

This type of bursitis is inflammation of the bursa in the front of the kneecap, often causing irritation, swelling, and pain. Prepatellar bursitis goes by several names, as the condition often affects those who work on their knees. This condition is often referred to as carpet layer knee, maid's knee, carpet cutter's knee, or nun's knee.

subpatellar bursitis

Subpatellar bursitis occurs when the bursa is located just below the kneecap, below the patellar tendon. This type of bursitis is often associated with patellar tendonitis or jumper knee. This type of bursitis is often referred to as coal miner's knee, priest's knee, or carpenter's knee.
