Thumb & Wrist Supports

Thumb and wrist supports and braces can be extremely useful in the treatment and rehabilitation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, repetitive strain injury, broken wrist, fractured Scaphoid, Colles fracture, sprained wrist, fractured Radius and a fractured Ulna. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be effectively treated with a wrist splint, brace or support. The Mueller Ultra Lite Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace is the most effective support available for the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Mueller Ultra Lite Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace supports the wrist in a neutral position which has been shown to decrease pressure within the Carpal Tunnel region of the wrist. This decreased pressure produces a decrease in the pain and symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, such as pins and needles and burning sensation in the hand and fingers.
