The correct application of a support device designed for lateral epicondylitis is critical for its effectiveness. This involves strategic placement on the forearm to properly distribute pressure and reduce strain on the affected tendons. Improper fitting or usage can negate the therapeutic benefits and potentially exacerbate the condition.
Using this support can significantly alleviate pain, promote healing, and enable continued activity during recovery. Historically, various methods have been employed to manage lateral epicondylitis, with external supports becoming a standard conservative treatment option due to their non-invasive nature and potential for providing immediate relief. Proper usage enhances comfort and maximizes the brace’s ability to facilitate recovery.
