KNEE BURSITIS CAUSES AND PAIN RELIEF OPTIONS

Dec 14th 2019

What is knee bursitis?

There are 11 bursae surrounding each knee. Each bursa is a thin, fluid-filled sac that works to reduce friction and cushion the connection between tendons, muscles, and bones in the body. When a bursa becomes inflamed or irritated, its usually thin lining becomes thick causing pain and swelling in the knee. This is known as bursitis.

What causes knee bursitis?

Any of the bursa in the knee can become inflamed, but the most common areas for bursitis are around the kneecap or just below the joint on the inside. Bursitis can be caused by direct force, excessive pressure (such as kneeling), overuse, or as a symptom of osteoarthritis.

What are the symptoms of knee bursitis?

Although bursitis can be caused by a sharp blow, it generally occurs when the bursa become irritated over time - often in jobs that require a lot of kneeling. Mild symptoms of tenderness and swelling will gradually increase overtime until the knee hurts even while at rest.

What is the best knee brace for bursitis?

The best knee braces for bursitis utilize the benefits of compression to relieve pain and enhance recovery. A knee brace with support can help stabilize the knee while the bursa heals. BioSkin knee braces deliver medical-grade compression and are designed to support the joint during the rehabilitation process.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
