Knee braces can help with knee pain due to extra support for the joint but are generally not recommended for a prolonged period of time as they may result in atrophying of the muscles that help support the knee.
Knee braces not helping agent for pain, knee braces play our role after treatment or pain management. Firstly I recommend you MRI test.
The simple answer is yes.
Knee braces can help with knee pain but it does depend on the cause of the knee pain. The main reason knee braces help is because they give our brain a reminder that something is going on. This is called proprioceptive input. Another reason knee braces can help is because they apply pressure to the area which sometimes helps the pain. There are many other ways to treat knee pain including physical therapy, topical ointments and injections.
