Alleviate Pain of Repetitive Wrist Injuries
Relief for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The wrist is a complex joint in a tight spot, surrounded by a fibrous band of supportive tissue. As the link between hand and arm, the wrist is involved in all sorts of activities, many of them repetitive. It’s those types of activities that can contribute to wrist pain.
Probably the best-known of these ailments is carpal tunnel syndrome, caused when the median nerve running through the bony canal in the palm side of the wrist becomes irritated as a result of keyboarding. But the wrist also can be injured as a result of repetitive motions like knitting or playing the piano. Other causes are sudden or abrupt movements, contact sports and lifting heavy objects without warming up.
To help alleviate these painful conditions, health care professionals may recommend heat, cold, compression, and/or immobilization of the wrist. Core has designed a broad range of wrist braces and supports to help relieve pain and numbness. They include supports, splints, braces, immobilizers -- many in ambidextrous designs – and hot & cold therapy products. Each product is designed to address a particular problem or objective. Each has varying levels of breathability, compression, flexibility and stability.
Wrist supports restrict but do not eliminate range of motion. For everyday use, consider using the PowerWrap, which features our exclusive Positive Tensioning System. A quick pull on the straps provides the best fit every time.
The Reflex Wrist Support features an open palm design and an adjustable strap for comfort and an elastic tension strap for extra compression.
The Dual Comfort version combines the support with medically accepted cold therapy. The cold pack’s soft, frost-free surface protects the skin.
Core’s products to alleviate or prevent wrist pain are manufactured in the company’s own facilities to ensure quality control. The high-quality products, designed in concert with health professionals, are tested thoroughly to give you an effective product at an affordable price.
