Elbow Braces

## Choose from Multiple Elbow Braces

At Seniorshop, we offer a wide selection of bandages and support braces for the entire body, and elbows are certainly no exception. On this page, you will find a variety of elbow braces designed to support, stabilize, and relieve pain in and around the elbow.

The elbow is an essential joint, much like the knees and shoulders, which ideally should function smoothly in our daily lives. If you are visiting this page, you are likely familiar with elbow pain and understand how uncomfortable and limiting it can be. Fortunately, an elbow brace can be an excellent solution to alleviate pain and promote the healing process.

Pain or issues with the elbow joint can arise from various factors, including injuries from falls or overstrain due to excessive or repetitive incorrect movements.

One of the most common forms of overstrain is known as 'tennis elbow,' a condition that can be very painful and limiting for individuals. Fortunately, there are methods to alleviate the discomfort, and using an elbow brace is a great place to start.

With the right support brace for the elbow, you can both prevent and treat elbow injuries and any associated pain. We offer several types of elbow braces to help you find the perfect one for your needs.

## Elbow Braces Alleviate Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is one of the most frequent causes of elbow pain. Despite its name, the condition does not necessarily result from playing tennis. Instead, it refers to an overstrain that can be attributed to multiple factors (including tennis, but also other sports and heavy lifting). Some people also refer to this condition as golfer's elbow or mouse arm, with the official medical term in Latin being epicondylitis lateralis.

Tennis elbow involves an overstrain of the muscles around the elbow, resulting from incorrect or excessive movements or unsuitable and repetitive working positions. This overstrain leads to inflammation in the tissue around the elbow, causing pain and stiffness in the area and extending into the arm.

Symptoms of tennis elbow include:
- Pain and tenderness in the forearm and elbow joint
- Restricted movement in the elbow and wrist joints
- Tenderness while using a keyboard and mouse

If you've been diagnosed with tennis elbow, investing in an elbow brace is a great idea to help alleviate the pain. An elbow brace for tennis elbow works by relieving the inflamed tendon insertions in the elbow joint, providing support, protection, and light compression to the affected area. This allows the injury to heal without further strain.

## Bamboo Elbow Brace

One of our popular products is the elbow brace made from natural bamboo charcoal, which offers a range of benefits.

Bamboo charcoal is a natural product that activates the body's own heat by emitting negative ions and infrared rays. The elbow brace from **Bamboo Pro** naturally increases your blood circulation, providing oxygen and nutrients to both muscles and joints.

This elbow brace is beneficial for anyone experiencing soreness, stiffness, or tension in muscles or joints. Bamboo charcoal is also a delightful and soft material, feeling comfortable on the skin and being especially moisture-absorbing. The Bamboo Pro elbow brace is available in sizes XS-L.

If you struggle with tennis elbow, this support brace can also be effective. Use the elbow brace both day and night for maximum benefit.

At Seniorshop, we also offer many other types of support braces in this wonderful natural material, such as knee braces, ankle braces, and shoulder bandages. To view our selection, simply enter 'Bamboo Pro' in the search field at the top of the page – this will display all products.

## Smart Elbow Brace with Velcro

Most of our elbow braces are pulled over the arm like a sleeve and are available in various sizes to fit the individual.

However, you may also opt for an elbow brace equipped with a Velcro closure, allowing you to adjust the size and compression as needed. Instead of being pulled over the arm, this type of elbow brace wraps around the elbow and is secured with a Velcro strap. This way, you can adjust it precisely as you wish, and the support brace can also be used on other parts of the body.

## How Long Should You Wear an Elbow Brace?

The duration for which you should wear your elbow brace depends on both the type and severity of your injury and pain. As a general rule, you should use your elbow brace and keep the affected area as rested as possible until noticeable improvement occurs, enabling you to use your arm normally again.

After the healing period, it may be advisable to use an elbow brace to prevent recurring injuries when playing sports or putting strain on the arm in other ways, such as heavy lifting or repetitive work.
