Compression Bandages

Dreamstime

Compression bandages are often used for knee pain caused by sprains, strains, and bruises. If an individual has a new knee injury, it's important for them to rest their leg to promote healing. Compression can be used while they rest their knee. Elastic bandages, otherwise known as compression bandages, gently squeeze the wrapped body part to keep swelling down. They're good to use when the knee pain is related to inflammation or a new injury. However, individuals shouldn't compress an injury forever, as it's important to restore blood flow eventually. Active blood flow helps the knee to heal more quickly and efficiently. Patients should talk to their doctor about when and how to use compression bandages to treat knee pain.
