If you have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, otherwise known as degenerative joint disease, it’s possible that this brace is on the list of braces that your doctor has recommended. The DonJoy OA Everyday Knee Brace is rated Level IV, which provides the best protection and support features.

Osteoarthritis is the inflammation of the joint and it usually happens when cartilage (the elastic material that covers the end of the bones) starts to break down. If it wears down enough, then you end up with bone-on-bone movement which results in pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Right now, there is no cure for osteoarthritis. However, many people living with OA continue to live regular lives, which includes physical activities and sports. How can they do that? The first thing is to get it diagnosed as soon as possible. If you are experiencing some of the symptoms I mentioned above, go see your doctor right away. With the right medication and proper joint protection, you should be able to delay and even avoid major pain in the future.

I’m not going to get into medication at this time, however I did want to talk about knee joint protection and this is where the Donjoy OA Everyday knee brace comes in. This brace is an excellent choice for people suffering mild to moderate OA as well as ligament instabilities. It is extremely easy to set up and take off and provides great protection for those who just need it for day-to-day activities and low impact physical activities. One of the best features is the ability to control how much support you need based on the activity you want to perform. Another great feature is the material used for the pads. They are hypoallergenic “Sili-Grip” pads which provide even more comfort.

What are the downsides to this brace? There aren’t that many. The main thing that I would like to mention is that I would not recommend it for contact sports. There are better choices if that’s what you are looking for. Just keep on eye on my reviews to find out which one.
