Breg OA Freestyle Knee Brace Review

Breg OA Freestyle Knee brace review

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis or (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. OA affects nearly 27 million Americans and millions more globally.  OA is a degenerative arthritis which is most often found in people 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people too. OA is caused by constant usage of your knees. Over time this usage gradually wears away your  knee cartilage in the knee joints. As the cartilage wears away, it becomes frayed and rough, and the protective space between the bones decreases. This results in bone rubbing on bone, and produces painful bone spurs. Individuals who are currently very active or where very active in there youth face a significant risk of developing Osteoarthritis. The condition is also more rampant in people who live an active lifestyle.

Osteoarthritis develops slowly and the pain it causes worsens over time. Individuals who have been diagnosed with OA will usually be confronted with two options. If there OA is mild to moderate there doctor will recommend them to wear a OA unloader like the Breg OA Freestyle, and reduce high impact activities like running. In more severe cases of OA your physician may recommend surgery. In many cases a high quality unloader may be able to be used instead of surgery, in this review we look at the Breg OA Freestyle and how it can help OA suffers.
