Reviews from patients and doctors about tourmaline knee pads, indications and contraindications for wearing a brace

One of the recommendations in the treatment of arthrosis and osteoarthritis of the knee joint is to immobilize the knee. For this purpose, special braces called knee pads have been created. They are more convenient to use than a regular elastic bandage. The main thing is to choose the right knee brace.

Knee braces seriously relieve arthrosis pain

Who needs knee pads and why?

A knee brace is designed to limit the mobility of the joint and ligaments around it, which is especially important for arthrosis, arthritis, and other diseases of the knee. They should also be used by healthy people who regularly expose this part of the body to extreme stress, for example due to profession or other circumstances.

Knee pads allow you to:

• reduce inflammation, if any;
• relieve swelling due to intensive outflow of synovial fluid;
• reduce pain;
• limit limb mobility;
• normalize blood circulation.

Healthy joints at any age!

Age, excessive physical activity, old injuries and sprains - all this affects the condition of the joints, which over time “wear out” and pain and discomfort in the knees begin to appear. Some people solve this problem with the help of painkillers and warming ointments. However, all these remedies have only a short-term effect, eliminating only the symptoms and not the problem itself.

The “Healthy Joints” magnetic knee brace will be a simple and practical solution to this delicate problem. Unlike tablets and other drugs, it is completely safe for your health, because there are no side effects from its use. This unique development effectively helps with discomfort and pain in the knee joints. Magnets built into the product increase blood circulation in the inflamed area, which helps to quickly relieve painful and unpleasant sensations.

What are they made from?

Knee braces are made from synthetic and natural materials. The first ones most often used are polyester, elastane and warming neoprene - wear-resistant, environmentally friendly and healthy materials that do not lose their properties even after prolonged wear.

Natural materials are more pleasant to the body - sheep, camel, dog hair, cotton knitwear. However, they can cause allergies and also wear out much faster than synthetic ones.

Anatomical shape and flat internal seams are the main characteristics of high-quality knee pads

What benefits do you get from purchasing this knee brace?

• The ability to engage in active sports and recreation without fear of getting new injuries or disturbing old ones.
• Reliable protection against pain and discomfort in the joints after long walking or running.
• A durable product made of durable and high-quality materials that will serve you for many years.

Another undeniable advantage of this knee brace is its simple and comfortable shape. A fairly narrow magnetic strip is securely attached directly under the joint using a durable strap. Its diameter can be easily adjusted to suit any size. The knee pad fits tightly to the body and does not slip. Can also be used on the elbow joint.

How to choose a knee brace based on the degree of fixation

Knee braces are divided into three types according to the degree of fixation:

• soft – optimal in the initial stages of arthrosis, as well as during the rehabilitation period after endoprosthetics;
• medium – suitable when the pain syndrome progresses, in particular at the second stage;
• tight – created specifically for severe forms of arthrosis with severe joint deformities.

Sometimes it’s worth buying 2 knee pads: for example, an articulated one - for walking and a warming one - for home

Tourmaline warms

It is a natural source of infrared rays reaching a length of 15 micrometers. They, like an infrared heater, are able to penetrate deeply into the tissues of the body and warm them up. This natural heat makes it possible to warm up not the skin, but blood vessels, muscles, capillaries, internal organs, and joints. Tourmaline knee pads were created for them, instructions for use of which are discussed in this article below. Infrared radiation warms up due to its effect on all cells of the body. Capillary vessels expand due to resonance, blood supply improves, cells are supplied with nutrients and oxygen, and this causes the effect of strengthening immunity and regeneration.

How not to make a mistake with the size

Knee pads are selected individually, as are clothing. By law, the return of medical supplies is prohibited, so you should be very careful when choosing.

Each manufacturer offers its own size chart, which is based on the circumference of the leg in the area - 15 cm below and above the knee, or on the circumference of the knee joint. Here is an example of one such grid:

Knee pad sizes vary from XS to XXL from different manufacturers.

Before choosing a knee brace, consult your doctor. Wearing a knee brace will not completely eliminate arthrosis of the knee joint, but will only temporarily relieve pain and speed up recovery with an integrated approach. Perhaps the specialist will recommend modern safe methods of treating arthrosis, for example, intra-articular injections of Noltrex. In this case, the knee brace will help improve blood circulation in the tissues and maximize the intervals between courses.

Wearing a knee brace for pain: answers to pressing questions

Question:

Is it possible to buy a knee brace yourself without contacting a specialist?

Answer:

highly undesirable. The fact is that some joint injuries or diseases require urgent medical attention. For comparison, consider two diseases: Koenig and arthritis, which can be confused. If your knee joint is inflamed or has arthritis, you can wear a brace to reduce the stress on your knee. The disease will noticeably reduce its progression. Necrosis or death of the cartilage tissue of the femur or Koenig's disease requires immediate attention. If you do not see a doctor in time, you will need surgical intervention.

Question:

Is it possible to use knee pads for preventive purposes?

Answer:

if a specific case requires it, for example, in the event of a threat of injury. The integrity of the knee joint can be damaged during sports. The knee pad is unable to protect the knee from degenerative and inflammatory processes.

Question:

Is it possible to heal the joint with a knee brace?

Answer:

it is impossible, orthopedic devices are not designed to provide a therapeutic effect. Their value lies in the fact that they create favorable conditions for joint restoration. In order for the knee to return to normal, you will have to wear bondage. But most often, an orthopedic device is used as an additional therapy in the treatment of arthrosis or arthritis.

Knee pad models

Each manufacturer produces its own models with distinctive characteristics. made sure that you have the opportunity to choose some of the most useful knee pads, for example:

1. Shungite knee pad for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Has a micromassage effect on the knee joint.

1. A knee brace with amber chips relieves accumulated tension and pain from the joint.

1. The “Doctor” fixing knee brace with camel and sheep wool helps relieve joint pain, regulates microcirculation, and has a micro-massage effect.

What is a retainer?

This is an anatomical knee brace with internal coating, which is formed by 12 active components:

• iodine and boron;
• potassium and manganese;
• lithium and oxygen;
• iron and others.

Substances of valuable minerals in tandem with magnetic inserts and tourmaline crystals promote accelerated skin regeneration, as well as:

• improving blood circulation;
• normalization of metabolism;
• reducing wear on joints, relieving muscle tension;
• relief of pain, congestion;
• active saturation of cells with microelements;
• strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

The effect of negative ions of a magnetic field on a positive charge helps relieve inflammation of the skin. The tourmaline knee pad heats up as a result of heat transfer from the human body. The orthopedic product has an ergonomic design, which allows you to wear it not only at home, but also at work. The bandage will become indispensable on business trips or long trips.

Kinds

When selecting the appropriate type of knee brace, they are guided by the type of pathology or injury suffered. Only a doctor can make a diagnosis. After this, the patient will be given recommendations on the choice of orthosis and optimal characteristics.

The types of orthoses are:

• Compression.
• Supplemented with stiffening ribs.
• Splints.
• Detachable devices.
• Magnetic.

Compression knee pads

Bandages with compression properties are elastic bandages with high density. Such medical devices are convenient for preventing joint problems and are worn directly on the problem area. Elastic knee pads have a supporting and micro-massage effect; their use helps to significantly reduce the load.

Compression braces are either solid or have silicone rings placed in the center of the kneecap. They may be recommended for use in arthritis. Rings provide protection from heavy loads and injuries due to impact, and reduce stress.

Fasteners

This group is designed to perform different tasks. Fixing devices limit movement and also protect the knees from various injuries. For equipment in these cases, belts are used that help adjust the tension force, plates and stiffeners made of metal. The clamps are as follows:

Semi-rigid - help to hold the joint in the required position, without limiting its mobility.

Rigid - help to firmly fix the leg, complicating mobility. Restrictions can be adjusted to the desired extent - it is determined depending on the stage of the disease or post-operative recovery. An orthopedic bandage with high rigidity is necessary for the bones to heal correctly after a fracture.

There is another type of clamp. They are narrow straps attached to the bottom of the knee. Such a bandage can provide support to the tendon without restricting the movement of the ligaments.

Splints

Devices belonging to this category are used instead of plaster bandages. Bandages used for knee fractures have a rigid design and are equipped with special adjusters and metal splints. Knee splints will help create a rigid fixation, do not create problems with maintaining hygiene and do not provoke allergies.

Detachable options

High-quality neoprene is used to make detachable bandages; the models are supplemented with metal tires. They are used to improve the patient’s condition with sprains, bruises and inflammation of the ligaments in the knee.

Magnetic applicators

Bandages supplemented with magnetic elements can warm up, reduce the severity of inflammation, and eliminate pain and discomfort. This effect is achieved by improving blood flow in the damaged area of ​​the leg.

Knee pads for sports

For athletes, we can recommend a separate type of bandages, which are ideal for prevention. Their types are as follows:

• Tapes are produced in the form of tapes with an adhesive layer, wound on reels. They are glued to the skin to eliminate muscle pain. When properly secured, tapes can significantly reduce the load on ligaments and joints.
• Calipers are highly elastic bandages made of neoprene. Using them, you can fix the desired area of ​​the leg and get a well-defined warming effect. It helps reduce pain associated with inflammation. Basically, such devices are worn in case of sprains, bruises, to reduce the risk of injury before training or going to active entertainment.
• Orthoses are devices that are equipped with additional elements, such as hinges, belts, elements with an adhesive layer for fixation and contour rings. They help ensure reliable fixation of the kneecap. Such devices may be recommended if a person has suffered a ligament rupture or a meniscus injury.
• Elastic fixing devices made of neoprene, equipped with special knee pads - they help protect against impacts. Due to rigid fixation, support for the articular elements and protection of the ligamentous apparatus is provided.

How to wear a corset?

After a massage, exercise therapy, when recovering from injuries and during an exacerbation of osteochondrosis and radiculitis, you need to put on a lumbosacral corset and do it correctly.

Basic Rules:

• Perform manipulations in a horizontal position.
• Unfasten the side ties from the belt (2).
• Place the product under your lower back. The spine should be between the stiffeners (3).
• Fasten the main clasp (1). There is no need to tighten too much.
• Pull the side ties (2) and secure them to your belt.
• Carefully rise and adjust the position of the product if necessary.

It is recommended to wear a semi-rigid corset without taking it off for no more than 3 hours. Then give your body a break for 1 hour, and you can put the orthosis back on.

Tourmaline knee pads: application

They have very high efficiency. Interestingly, even 15 minutes of use is enough for 1 session. They are very convenient to use, since they do not restrict a person’s movements, are almost invisible under clothing and can be used everywhere - at work, at school, while sleeping and at home.

Tourmaline knee pads (you can read doctors' reviews in the article below) do not need to be connected to electrical sources. The mineral itself is considered a natural source of energy and can be recharged from the energy of the sun. It is enough to keep them in the sun or battery for 3 hours - this charge will be enough for ten days of their use.

Their pads contain crushed mineral, which is considered a source of:

• Infrared, deeply penetrating radiation (up to 14 micrometers), which warms up bone tissue, joint tissue, and capillaries.
• Constant biological microcurrent, fully compatible with the biocurrents of the human body.
• Negative ions in the surrounding air, as well as in the circulatory system and human tissues.
• Their effect improves the flow of Qi energy in the body, blood circulation, and also eliminates the symptoms of stress, fatigue, insomnia, and tension.
• Tourmaline knee pads (instructions for each of them are included in the package) nourish the human biofield, protect against geopathogenic, bioenergetic and electromagnetic harmful influences, and also restore the flow of energy in the human legs.
• The use of infrared knee pads helps restore intra-articular fluid and joint cartilage, improves blood microcirculation and blood supply.
