You have many ways to get a knee brace. Pharmacies or medical supply stores often carry simple knee sleeves or supports. Some people order knee braces directly from the manufacturers or through the Internet. Your doctor is a good resource and may know about many different knee brace companies. Your doctor can help you choose a brace and get the correct size.
Some knee braces cost hundreds of dollars.
Sometimes medical insurance companies cover them. Remember, the most expensive brace isn't always the best one. During sports, knee braces should be used as directed by your doctor. Take care when putting the brace on to make sure that the hinges are where the knee bends. Straps, tapes or hook and loop tapes should be fastened around your leg.
