This band does apply pressure on both side. Unfortunately, if you don't put it on just right, and you let your guard down, it feels like it's not serving its purpose. Trust me, you'll know if it's on right. I also apply Voltaren Gel on before putting on the bandIt. There is also a homeopathic crème I use called "Arnicare" which works like Benga w/o the burning sensation.Hope this helps.

This is the best band I have used and coupled with a compression sleeve alleviated most if not all the pain.

I think BandiIT would work. It has two pieces, one on top and one on bottom. It works well for me. For medication, use Voltaren, prescription ointment, an excellent remedy.

Yes and it is adjustable . You can slide the pieces to fit your arm. The inside is cushioned with a neoprene type, which makes it comfortable.

This device works well, but tends to slip while more active. I know some people say they wear this band while running or playing sports, but I found that while playing tennis, it begins to slip and/or loosen. It also takes a few tries to find the right position to wear it. I've found that for walking or general wear, it's fine, but, as I noted, for more active exercises and sports it is less effective than a tightly worn ACE band. LT

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

The band is stiff material and has no elasticity unlike my current one I use. I have some swing in my arms when I run and do not believe it will stay in place. My current band fits snug but with the elastic material does not restrict blood flow in arm. Since the band I purchased is stiff and short I will just return and not try it. The material is smooth neoprene on the inside so it may not stay in place I cannot determine that without wearing it.

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

It is worn on your forearm just below the elbow. I wear it only when I'm having pain and it seems to help. If it's for tennis elbow get a stress ball too. Squeeze it about 20-30 times a night while your watching television and it will help as well.

EliteFTS and some other companies have a strap that goes around your forearm/elbow area for that problem. You can relieve the problem and let it heal but you must deactivate the tendon, which is hard to do, so that it can rest and heal. That is what the arm straps do, they put pressure on the tendon so that it deactivates. Of course some therapy work is probably necessary too, but that's the main way to deal with the problem immediately or so you can continue doing your other lifts at the gym.

Kirsten. What sport(s) are you participating in? I play tennis and found the Cramer band slipping as I move no matter how tight I make it.Properly placed, it does offer some relief to groin and hip area while walking, exercising, or weight-training. I'd think runners wouldn't be able to use it for very long.When I play tennis, I found using an Ace bandage + compression shorts work best and the bandage doesn't move. Hope this helps. Larry

HI, I use them for severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. They work way way better then the ones that Arsenio Hall sells on TV!! I brought them ones and sent them back they were horrible!!!! As for sports injury you really need to ask a Doctor, but they are great for pain i love them and they are priced right...

Where the source of pain in tennis elbow is right under the skin it should work well.

I'm not sure. I used it for a pulled muscle and for what is known as tennis elbow and it worked great for both. I would try it if I had arthritis.

Cameille - I use the compression sleeves when I golf to keep the sun off my arms. I have had several precancerous spots removed and trying to prevent and further damage. They fit from my wrist to almost my shoulder. They are tight fitting however because of the movement of my arms I do have to pull them up towards my shoulder (keeping the tops up under my shirt sleeves. I wish I could advise further. I can tell you I only paid $9.75 for 1 pair, total price no S/H.As John below says, alot depends on the size of your arms. I hope this helps.

I would just buy whatever is good for you. You might want to buy 2 bands and then you can use an easier and harder, as you like. There is no requirement for how difficult the band is, but you want something you can do repetitive exercises with without burning out your arms and legs right away.

My husband works out everday but can no longer lift heavy weights due to his elbow pain. I was wondering if this product would hurt his elbow as much as the free weights do. I think he ahs tennis elbow is what they call it (he is also an avid golfer). He has toned arms but wants them to be bigger. Is this the right product, or is this simply for tonig? Thanks for any suggestions.

I use my sleeves for golf. Mornings have high humidity (>80%) and they provide some cooling. My primary reason for wearing them is the UV protection (recommended by my doctor) and the fact that they keep the sweat from running down to my hands. Once they become saturated, they provide cooling with the wind. I enjoy my sleeves and wear them almost daily.

I always wear this brace whatever I do even I play any kinds of sport. And it never bother me to play. I believe it is fine to play tennis with the brace.

This product is a massager. It is used to aleviate the pain between the joints. To my knowledge tennis elbow is not pain in the joints so it probably might not work in the joints. I would think that a good topical rub that you can buy in the drug store would help when gently rubbed onto the painful area.
