View full detailsThe wear-and-tear of osteoarthritis, along with other forms of knee arthritis, can lead to pain, swelling, and joint stiffness that interferes with everyday activities. By offloading stress from worn cartilage and reducing harmful pressure, a specialized brace can help you stay mobile, comfortable, and in control of your life.
Curious about the 4 Stages of Knee Osteoarthritis? Check out our in-depth blog post detailing how cartilage deterioration progresses and which treatments work best at each phase. Understanding your knee’s condition is the first step toward effective self-care and better quality of life.
In most cases, osteoarthritis forms when protective cartilage in the knee slowly wears down, exposing bone surfaces that rub together. Over time, this friction causes pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Key factors include:
Arthritis can begin subtly, progressing gradually until each step becomes painful. But the right brace can intercept joint stress and help keep you active.
Arthritis knee braces—often called unloader braces—aim to shift weight away from damaged areas, alleviating discomfort and preserving remaining cartilage. Bracing offers:

Osteoarthritis typically causes stiffness, swelling, and a gradual increase in pain—often worse after rest or prolonged activity. You might also hear creaking (crepitus) when bending your knee. A proper diagnosis usually requires a physical exam, imaging like X-rays, and a review of symptoms by a medical professional.
Not always. Many people manage their osteoarthritis conservatively through weight management, exercise, and bracing to offload pressure from the knee. Surgery may be considered if conservative approaches fail and pain or mobility problems severely affect quality of life. Consult an orthopedic specialist for personalized recommendations.
Yes. Unloader braces shift weight away from the most worn part of the knee, relieving stress on damaged cartilage. This offloading effect often decreases pain, improves mobility, and helps preserve any remaining healthy cartilage in the joint.
Look for a brace featuring wraparound straps and adjustable offloading settings to accommodate larger thighs or calves. A model like the Brace Align Plus Size KoAlign Osteoarthritis Knee Brace redistributes weight away from damaged compartments while ensuring a snug, secure fit for plus-size users.
