I tried a CompressionZ, very thin, minimal support. Does this brace give good support? It's pretty thin, too.

Ooops---it's Monday; I mistakenly thought you were asking about a different McDavid product. Anyhow, this brace does give excellent support...sorry about the mix up!

Worn mine several times, good support for non athletic purposes, not noticeable under Trousers / dress slacks.Size is a matter of personal custom fit, bought XXL and found it snug but comfortable. Good value

It does for me. I had to have an injection of "gel" and this support keeps it there without pain or discomfort. Ask your doctor.

I ordered mine a little big and it gave a light support. One size down would have been too tight!

In terms of support for the knee joint as a whole, it's not great---BUT it works very well for my IB pain...

It does support the knee well. Have found that wearing compression pants under the brace reduces irritation from the heat build up between the skin and the neoprene.

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 brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

You put the main part if the brace on and adjust with Velcro. Then there is another set of elastic bands that you pull over this for more support and it also attaches with Velcro. It provides great support that you can adjust to your comfort.

Sorry..I find the comfort cool to be more supportive than the brace about which you are asking. I wear the longer Mueller thumb/wrist brace with a more stable support for sleeping. Good luck.

I wouldn't go so far as to compare the Incredibrace with a true brace. The compression helps ease pain and seems to make faster work of healing on my creaky knees.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

only if its not put on correctly, mine sits comfortable to give me extra support on my knees. It certainly doesnt compare to the Orthapedic Brace which is designed to imobalise the knee. I want to still bend and walk so this is just fine for everyday.

"good support"? more like good compression and good at keeping alignment. But as a true support, not so sure, you'd probably want something more sturdy/velcro action. But if you've got a relatively healthy knee and want a feel good safeguard, I'd say this would do the job. If you're coming back from injury or have knee pain or weakness, then you'll probably want something more substantial. In my unprofessional opinion ;)

Being at the lower area of the spine, the SI joint takes a lot of compression and weight from all the vertebral column above it, hence, it seems logical that a support brace that takes /"supports" some of the weight at and above the braced area, should help reduce stress on the SI joint, thereby, helping to relieve pain. I use combinations of ice to the area, ibuprofen, stretch exercises, and the support brace to manage my back pain. After 35 years of degenerative disc disease, I've learned that no "one tactic" is the solution to my chronic and acute back/rib pains.

It will work,but might b a little snug.it does stretch.I guess it depends on how loose or tight u need it.Overall a good brace though.

I ordered large knee brace, and it fits very firm and tight on my knee (my normal pants size is extra small to small). I was thinking about buying the extra large brace too for not-so-tight compression of my knee. The quality of this brace is very good.

Yep, no problem, much thinner ( but still gives good support) than a neoprene sleeve

Yes. My wife loves it. She says it feels more like a support wrap than a brace.

I can't say if it will solve your problem (although I've heard compression sleeves work for Shin Splints), but I doubt it will be too much compression (assuming you get the sizing right). I thought the compression was on the light side.

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you
