5 Wrist Support Braces for Effective Pain Relief

1. Wrist Brace for Tendonitis - Ossur Formfit Wrist Brace 

Tendonitis is often caused due to sudden and sharp movements during an exercise requiring repetitive motion, for instance, running, jumping, or throwing. Wrist tendonitis may cause pain when making a fist, lifting something, or performing repetitive wrist movements. Tendonitis in the wrist can lead to pain and inflammation in the forearm muscles' tendons to the hand bones. 

Ossur Form Fit Wrist Brace offers unmatched durability and adjustability. This FSA-approved wrist support brace is designed with patented three-dimensional molding technology that allows varied padding thickness at strategic locations for optimum comfort and fit.

The lightweight and durable fabric and the soft, lycra-lined interior are extremely breathable and contour along the distal palmar crease allowing for 90-degree M.P. flexion. Ossur Form Fit is considered as one of the best braces for tendonitis, keeps the hand stable, and helps the wrist rest, which is essential for tendons to heal.

2. Wrist Brace for Carpal Tunnel - Comfort Cool Wrist and Thumb CMC Restriction Splint 

Extreme pressure on the median nerve can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway, is surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm, causing tingling pain and sensation in the median nerve, providing motor functions to the wrist, hand, and forearm. The median nerve also sends signals to the brain for touch, pain, and temperature sensations from the lower arm and hand.  

Comfort Cool Wrist and Thumb CMC Splint provide direct support for the thumb CMC joint and allow full finger function. This FSA-approved wrist splint is made of thin perforated neoprene with a terry cloth liner that helps keep skin cool and comfortable.

CMC wrist brace with thumb support is a wrap-around thumb splint with reinforced stitching for trimming below the thumb MP joint if desired. Comfort Cool compression wrist brace for carpal tunnel requires less hand manipulation, making it easy to adjust and fasten the splint.   

A brace helps treat carpal tunnel syndrome by keeping the wrist in a neutral position. Carpal tunnel symptoms worsen at night since bending hands is more likely to happen during sleep. The thumb CMC wrist brace for carpal tunnel prevents the hand from bending and keeps it in the straight position. The carpal tunnel brace also aids in moving the joint during the day to avoid it getting stiff and weakening the muscles.

4. Ulnar Wrist Pain Brace -  Count R Force Radial Ulnar Wrist Brace 

The ulnar nerve is responsible for providing feeling and function to the hand and arises from the spinal cord and travels through the neck down to the arm and into the hand. A pinched or compressed ulnar nerve at the wrist is known as ulnar tunnel syndrome and reduces blood flow to the nerve, harming its function. 

When compressed at the wrist, the nerve malfunction can cause numbness and tingling in the little finger and the outside of the ring finger. Additionally, one may experience weakness in hand when pinching and gripping. 

Count R Force Radial Brace is an ulnar nerve brace that helps reduce ulnar nerve pain or symptoms such as numbness and tingling of the ring finger and pinky finger, weakening grip and finger coordination, and muscle pain in hand. Count R Force ulnar wrist pain brace has a contoured design of latex foam padding and nylon backing. The two D-ring straps distribute the tension evenly while wrapping around the wrist for stability and control entirely and are ideal for treating wrist injuries, wrist pain, strains, sprains, tendonitis, and arthritic conditions.
