Wrist Support, Wrist Splint & Wrist Fracture Braces
For a high quality wrist support or wrist strap which helps to speed up recovery from wrist injuries, sprains, and fractures, choose PhysioRoom. Our range of wrist splints provide compression, pain relief, and protection from further injury, and are great for tackling injuries and conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist fractures, and skier's thumb.
A wrist splint can be used to tackle many different injuries, including wrist fractures. A wrist support works to limit movement, as well as prioritising support, compression and pain relief, in all the same ways a traditional plaster cast would, but without the hours waiting in A&E to be seen, as well as being adjustable and removable for breathability and to allow itching and washing. Unlike plaster casts, our wrist braces are made from comfortable materials, are extremely lightweight, and allow full finger functionality making them a quicker, easier, more comfortable alternative to heavy, smelly plaster casts.
When wearing an adjustable wrist brace for a wrist fracture we advise that you only remove the splint when a doctor or healthcare specialist says to. To ensure that your injury heals correctly, you should keep the splint on until told it is safe to remove.
Wearing a wrist support for carpal tunnel syndrome helps to keep your wrist straight and relieves the pressure on the nerves that are causing you pain. It is often advised to wear a wrist splint for at least 4 weeks when tackling carpal tunnel syndrome to ensure you allow your wrist enough time to heal.
Hand therapy and hand strengthening exercises are another good way to tackle carpal tunnel syndrome in the long run. While we advise resting and protecting your wrist if you are in pain, if you are able to perform hand exercises without causing additional pain and damage, these can help stop the pain coming back later down the line.
Tackling Arthritis in Wrist
Wrist arthritis is a very common condition which causes pain, inflammation, and discomfort in the wrist. This is caused when the protective cartilage in the wrist is worn down over time, causing the bones to rub against eachother. The damage arthritis causes can not be repaired, however, with the right support, the effects of arthritis can be easily managed.
A neoprene wrist support is a fantastic option for anybody suffering from wrist arthritis. This brace provides warmth, comfort, and compression to the target area which helps to alleviate pain and swelling, two common effects of arthritis. Here at PhysioRoom, we have a huge selection of wrist splints and supports to help tackle the effects of arthritis.
De Quervain Tenosynovitis Treatment
De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a painful condition which affects the tendons in your wrist and thumb. This occurs when the two tendons at the base of the thumb become swollen, which leads to increased pressure on the nerves around the area, and causes significant pain. The immediate solution to de Quervain's syndrome is to immobilise the thumb and wrist. Keeping them straight with the aid of a thumb and wrist support will help to rest the tendons, taking away all opportunity of overusing them and causing even further damage.
Alongside this, when safe to do so, physiotherapy for your hands and wrists is a great way to build strength back up in the affected area. However you should always be careful, and we advise that you only do this when advised to by a doctor or physiotherapist to avoid causing further damage.
Best Wrist Splints, Supports & Straps
Wrist support braces with stays offer our highest level of wrist support and immobilisation. Suitable for daily use, they can be used following wrist sprains and wrist injuries as well as helping to relieve carpel tunnel syndrome. These wrist splint supports can also be used for rehabilitation from wrist fracture and are ideal for those who wish to resume their daily activities.
Another popular style of wrist support are wrist straps that offer adjustable compression and support. These supports provide compression and help to support the wrist during sports activities all while having a unique, low profile, easy to apply design so you can wear throughout the day without anyone even knowing you are wearing a wrist support.
Wrist straps can help manage pain caused by joint or tendon overuse in the wrist or thumb by providing adjustable compression and support. A wrist brace helps to provide warmth and support to muscles and joints which can help to aid weak, injured or arthritic wrists. These wrist straps and supports are perfect to help with strain caused by repetitive wrist movements such as occupational and sporting activities. Wrist braces with a thumb splint can also be used as a protective cast. They protect and immobilise the wrist and thumb following fractures and sprains, while still permitting full finger function. Designs with strong yet lightweight plastic shell and spica work in the same ways as an old-fashioned plaster cast - except it's much easier and comfortable to wear.
