Donjoy OA Adjuster Knee Brace | Donjoy Knee Brace UK Shop

The Donjoy OA Adjuster Knee Brace has been commended by the Arthritis Foundation for its ease of use and in many ways, an accolade by this highly respected organisation is an indication of the quality of the design and manufacture.

Donjoy enjoy an unrivalled reputation for their top-quality knee braces and other support braces. This trusted brand is well known by physiotherapists and other health specialists involved in the rehabilitation and pain management field.

One excellent and useful feature of this particular knee brace is the fact that there are two distinct versions available-either medial or lateral compartment.  It is available in a medial or lateral version and your choice should depend on which are of the knee your pain is located in.

This is an important feature as there are two distinct compartments within the knee, known as medial and lateral.  The medial compartment forms the inner compartment, the lateral is the outer compartment.  In general, the inner compartment is subject to most of the wear and tear and in time, the joint can begin to deteriorate, losing joint fluid and cartilage.  This can cause bone to bone contact which can result in significant pain, swelling and reduced mobility.

The Donjoy OA Adjuster is an example of an “unloader” knee brace.  This means that it will bend the knee back into a more neutral or straighter position, thus decreasing the load on the affected side.  This can reduce the bone to bone contact, thus reducing pain and swelling.

When fitted correctly, this brace can offer immediate pain relief without the trauma of surgery or the side effects of drug treatment.

There are many benefits to this particular knee brace which makes it a first choice amongst both professional and amateur athletes and doctors.
