Can Knee Braces Cause Back Strain?
Question: can wearing knee braces cause your back to take more of the weight/strain and cause pain?
Brief Answer:
Take treatment and physiotherapy as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Knee cap improves the weight transmission to lower limbs and doesn't cause stress on back.
Mild back discomfort maybe due to prolonged wrong posture of spine and associated muscle spasm.
You can consult a physiotherapist for back and knee exercise.
Pain killer with muscle relaxant can also be used.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
