Arthritis: What Works? When it comes to arthritis, there are very few options that work to control arthritis like weight control, exercise and rest. However, if necessary, there are therapeutic support devices that can benefit arthritis sufferers. Knee braces are helpful, specifically because they reduce the load bearing weight off of the knees and allow the patient be more fully mobile as they walk. Since the knees are a specific area that is effected by load bearing weight, the degeneration of the knee cartilage is something that accumulates over time causing extreme pain to the tendons, muscles and bone. Canes and walker can also reduce a significant amount of pressure on the leg joints as they support and allow for exercise and improved mobility – two things that help with arthritis. |
