Frequently asked questions
Does this provide relief for both tennis and golfer's elbow?
Yes, the Epigel support is specifically engineered to address epicondylitis, commonly known as both tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. It features dual gel pads that target both the extensor and flexor muscles of the forearm to provide effective symptom management.
Is the gel padding effective at reducing vibration?
Absolutely. The integrated soft gel pad construction is specifically designed to dampen unwanted vibrations. This helps protect injured tissue from the repetitive micro-impacts that often aggravate conditions like tennis elbow.
Will this fit comfortably on my forearm?
The support is designed as a ‘One Size Fits Most’ solution. It is adjustable to accommodate forearm circumferences ranging from 8 to 14 inches, ensuring a secure and customized fit for most users.
Is the material comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Epigel is designed for daily comfort. It features a low-profile, ergonomic silhouette made from soft, breathable materials. It is intended to be worn discreetly under clothing without creating the uncomfortable ‘tourniquet’ effect often found in bulkier braces.
Can I wear this under my work clothes?
Yes, the low-profile design is perfect for professional settings. Its sleek, minimalist aesthetic allows it to fit comfortably underneath most standard clothing sleeves, making it easy to wear throughout the workday.
How does the compression mechanism work?
Instead of applying tight pressure around the entire forearm, the device uses two adjustable gel pads. These pads provide precise, targeted compression to the specific muscle groups responsible for your pain, allowing for therapeutic relief while maintaining blood flow.
Is this support made in the USA?
Yes, the Epigel Tennis Elbow Support is proudly manufactured in the United States by Medical Specialties.
Is the support stable during physical activities?
Yes, the ergonomic design is shaped to follow the natural curvature of your forearm. This provides a stable, non-slip placement that stays securely in position, even during repetitive movements associated with sports or professional tasks.
Can this be used for general rehabilitation?
It is an excellent tool for rehabilitation involving repetitive arm movements. By managing pain and dampening vibrations, it supports the recovery process for those needing to remain active while treating chronic elbow discomfort.
How do I ensure the fit is correct?
To ensure proper function, simply measure your forearm circumference. As long as you fall within the 8 to 14-inch range, you can utilize the adjustable straps to tighten the brace to your preferred level of compression and comfort.
