Choose from Multiple Elbow Supports
At Seniorshop, we offer a wide range of braces and support bandages for the entire body, and of course, the elbow is no exception. On this page, you'll find a great selection of elbow supports, all designed to support, stabilize, and alleviate pain in and around the elbow.
The elbow is a crucial joint, much like the knees and shoulders, that needs to function smoothly in our daily lives. If you've landed on this page, you're likely familiar with elbow pain and understand how uncomfortable and limiting it can be. Thankfully, an elbow support can be an excellent solution to relieve pain and promote the healing process.
Pain or issues with the elbow joint can arise from various factors, including injuries from falls and strains due to strenuous or repetitive incorrect movements.
One of the most common forms of overstrain is known as 'tennis elbow,' and this condition can be very painful and limiting for individuals. Fortunately, there are ways to alleviate discomfort, and an elbow support is a good place to start.
With the right elbow support, you can both prevent and treat elbow injuries and the pain they may cause. We offer several types of elbow supports, so you can find the perfect fit for you.
Elbow Supports for Tennis Elbow Relief
Tennis elbow is one of the most common causes of elbow pain. Despite the name, the condition doesn't necessarily result from playing tennis but refers to overstrain that can occur from various factors (including, but not limited to, tennis, other sports, and heavy lifting). Some also refer to the condition as golfer’s elbow or mouse elbow, and the official medical term in Latin is epicondylitis lateralis.
Tennis elbow involves overstrain of the muscles around the elbow, caused by incorrect or excessive movement or an unsuitable and repetitive work position. This overstrain leads to inflammation in the tissue around the elbow, resulting in 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 - Reduced mobility in the elbow and wrist joints - Tenderness when using a keyboard and mouse
If you've been diagnosed with tennis elbow, it's a great idea to invest in an elbow support that can help alleviate your pain. An elbow support for tennis elbow works by relieving stress on the inflamed tendon attachments in the elbow joint, providing excellent support, protection, and light compression to the affected area. This way, the injury can heal without further strain.
Bamboo Elbow Supports
One of our popular products is the elbow support made from natural bamboo charcoal, which boasts several beneficial properties.
Bamboo charcoal is a natural product that activates the body's own warmth by emitting negative ions and infrared rays. **The elbow support from Bamboo Pro** naturally increases your blood circulation, ensuring muscles and joints receive oxygen and nutrients.
This elbow support is beneficial for anyone suffering from soreness, stiffness, or tension in muscles or joints. Bamboo charcoal is also a delightful, soft material that feels comfortable on the skin and is particularly moisture-absorbing. The Bamboo Pro elbow support is available in sizes XS-L.
If you're dealing with tennis elbow, this support can also have a beneficial effect. Feel free to use the elbow support both day and night for maximum effect.
At Seniorshop, we also carry many other types of supports in this wonderful natural material, such as knee braces, ankle supports, and shoulder bandages. If you wish to see our selection, simply type 'Bamboo Pro' into the search bar at the top of the page – all the products will appear.
Smart Elbow Support with Velcro
Most of our elbow supports are slipped over the arm like a sleeve, and therefore come in various sizes to suit individuals.
You can also choose to buy an elbow support equipped with a velcro closure, allowing you to adjust the size and compression to your needs. Instead of being pulled over the arm, this type of elbow support wraps around the elbow and fastens with a velcro strip. This way, you can set and adjust it exactly as you want. The support bandage can also be used in other areas of the body.
How Long Should You Wear an Elbow Support?
The length of time you should wear your elbow support depends on the type and extent of your injury and pain. As a general rule, you should use your elbow support and keep the affected area as rested as possible until you experience noticeable improvement and can use the arm normally again.
After the healing period, it may be a good idea to use an elbow support to prevent recurring injuries when engaging in activities like sports or when putting a strain on the arm in other ways, such as during heavy lifting or repetitive work.
