There are several reasons to wear an elbow brace. It is very important to have the correct elbow brace and to ensure it is worn in the proper way.
The most common use for an elbow brace is for tennis or golfer’s elbow. Also called an elbow clasp in this case, treating the tennis elbow requires the brace to be worn below the elbow, instead of directly on it. This will transfer the pressure from the elbow itself to the area directly under the brace. It should be worn while doing all activities for complete relief.
