• Acute or chronic pain: as pain is associated with inflammation, the same relief effect it has on swelling, it will have on pain intensity. It only regulates pain associated with injuries to the tendon and ligaments connected to it. It is only a temporary measure while rest takes effect with drug support.
• Sprains: this band is used when the sprain is completely controlled or in full recovery phase. The band works as a preventive tool to prevent the natural movements of the arm from damaging the ligaments affected by excessive twisting in the elbow. Do not use the band immediately after the sprain.
• Arthrosis: both arthritis and osteoarthritis are degenerative diseases that affect the joint itself, in these cases the tendon suffers more because it must compensate for the movement. This band will protect the tendon from the excesses in the physical work that it must do in these cases of bone weakening due to these diseases.
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): the epicondylitis band helps with typical racquet sports injuries. Faced with constant movements, the elbow tendon requires the protection of these compressive bands and these have a padding that helps to immobilize the tissues. Their use prevents recurrence of the injury.
• Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis): this is also an epicondylitis elbow brace that helps golfers to perform a better swing without the pain in the elbow from the twisting required in a long drive. Repetitions will not affect the joint unless there is overuse by the player, or irregular conditions in the stroke.
• Overuse injuries: these epicondylitis elbow braces will prevent repetitive motions at work from wearing down the elbow joint, especially the forearm tendon. That is why in a work environment it is recommended to use them as long as the person feels a relief and that it is actually useful to continue with their activity.
• Contusions and trauma: whenever there is a strong blow and a lot of inflammation and pain, it is advisable to consult a specialist to know how to use the epicondylitis strap. This strap is adjustable, so if there is a lot of pressure, the blood flow will be cut off and it will negatively affect the patient's recovery.

• Support and stability: for people who need to remain active at work or in sports, the use of the garment is formidable so that arm movements remain fluid and without annoying pain. The elbow has limited mobility, however, it requires this targeted support on the tendon to increase immobilization.
• Compression: the pressure exerted by the garment triggers all the benefits it has on the forearm and elbow. Therefore, the pressure is regulated according to the purpose of each patient. However, when the compression is excessive there will be a tingling in the body which is not beneficial for blood circulation.
• Pain relief: when the compression is adequate, the covered tissues begin to relax and the blood supply improves, then there is a decrease in the intensity of pain. However, these garments are a support that must be accompanied by a specific treatment in case of moderate injuries.
• Injury prevention: people often use these garments when they have already had previous injuries, so they know that the bands will help to avoid relapses and they will be able to continue with their daily activities. The pressure on the tendon and ligaments protect these tissues from daily physical exertion and sports, in both cases they are recommended.
• Accelerates recovery: when people find it difficult to respect the rest in injuries, this garment serves as a daily support to immobilize part of the elbow, especially the tendon of the forearm. During relaxation, the regeneration of the affected cells is accelerated. Avoid creating a dependency to these garments with their excessive use.
• Minimizes vibrations: each movement of the arm generates vibrations that activate and prevent tendon relaxation. Most of the bands have a flexible and resistant structure that presses the tendon, thus avoiding involuntary movements and consequent vibrations.

• Daily life: it is advisable to use the elbow braces for epicondylitis throughout the day, provided that the person is in the final phase of recovery, but should not last with it every day of the week. It is also not advisable to sleep with it because the metabolism changes during this period and the arm movements cannot be controlled.
• Work activities: this is a discreet garment, if a long-sleeved shirt is worn, it can be used to relieve pain when repetitive movements are performed, which generally affect the dominant arm. The strap comes with a pad to put pressure on the tendon and appease the constant pain, without the need to be adjusting it.
• Golf: as this is a joint-intensive sport, the bands will prevent high intensity of the muscles on the forearm tendon. In addition, it will protect the joint from the twisting that the arm performs in each swing. It should not be used to try to hide an injury in competitions as its purpose is preventive.
• Running: if the runner has an injury or is recovering from one, the band can be used in competitions because the strongest stress falls on the trunk and lower extremities. In addition, the garment will protect the person in case of falls, thus avoiding injuries when trying to stop the blow with the arm.
