Elbow Supports

Elbow joint injuries & arthritis

An elbow sprain is a tear of any of the ligaments (which join bone to bone) in the elbow. Elbow joint sprains can occur suddenly through direct trauma or twisting. Or they may occur gradually over time through overuse, for example with repetitive throwing.

The Ultimate Elastic Compression Elbow Support is the number one choice for elbow joint injuries. The tailored elastic design provides excellent joint compression. Being thinner than neoprene it is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.

It is also ideal for general elbow swelling and Arthritis.

Neoprene supports

Neoprene is a rubber based material which has good compression properties as well as retaining body heat. Increasing heat to the area of an injury (as long as it is not in the early acute phase) increases blood flow which brings nutrients to the area, aiding the healing process.

If you have chronic inflammation or degeneration your elbow tendons then consider the Neoprene Elbow Support. Tendons work best when kept warm.

Elbow compression sleeves

An elbow compression sleeve is simply a pull on support that applies compression to the joint. They are excellent for immediately after injury when you need to apply the PRICE principles of protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation. Elastic elbow compression sleeves are better for the acute phase after injury.

Later in the rehabilitation process, or for chronic tendon injuries a Neoprene elbow compression sleeve is ideal as it retains heat.
