Millions of Canadians suffer from knee arthritis. Until now, there was nothing short of joint replacement surgery to help deal with the pain. Now, there is a unique device available from Bionicare: a knee brace that can greatly reduce the pain of arthritis, helping you to regain mobility and get back to living an active life.
The Bionicare Knee System works on painful knee osteoarthritis using a unique technology that delivers a low-level pulsed electrical signal to the knee joint that the wearer does not feel, in order to lessen the effects of osteoarthritis of the knee. The signal generator contained in the Bionicare Knee System helps mimic the impulses of a normal knee, providing effective relief from symptoms of arthritis, giving the wearer the ability to move without debilitating pain.

Knee arthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the thinning of the protective cartilage of the joint. Age, injury, and everyday wear and tear are typical causes of knee pain. As the protective cartilage lining becomes damaged, the underlying bone is exposed causing inflammation, pain, limited mobility, and limited function. People over the age of 50 are more likely to develop knee arthritis, especially individuals who are overweight and sedentary.
Knee arthritis is diagnosed by x-rays. The doctor will look at the amount of space between the femur and the tibia, noticing the deterioration of the cartilage between the bones and irregularity of the joint surfaces in order to judge the severity of the condition. When the term "bone on bone" is used, it refers to the lack of cartilage to cushion the joint.
Knee pain will progress and worsen over time. Symptoms will fluctuate based on activity level or even the weather, making symptoms frustratingly inconsistent. Most commonly, knee pain symptoms include pain with activity, especially walking and going up and down stairs, stiffness or limited range of motion, swelling, and tenderness. Moving from sitting to standing can be painful. Occasionally, episodes of the knee 'giving way' can occur, especially while negotiating stairs or rising from a seated position.
If you are looking for a non-surgical solution to help with your knee osteoarthritis, the Bionicare Knee System could be what you need. Many Canadians are attempting to lessen the amount of prescription medications they take, and are unwilling to endure prolonged wait times for surgery to correct knee arthritis. If you are one of those sufferers looking to regain your active lifestyle, Bionicare's solution can help reduce your pain and get you back to doing the activities you enjoy.
