Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I stop my wrist brace from smelling?

  Slide your hands into the brace. And there is a special section sleeve that hold your thumb. And you simply wrap the bulk around your thumb to hold it in place.
• Should you wear a wrist brace all day?
  You should wear this brace sparingly during the day, especially when you overwork your hands. However, wear it continuously at night as you sleep until symptoms disappear
• Do wrist brace help for arthritis?
  Yes, benefit from a splint that immobilizes your wrist and thus reduces arthritis pain. Some of our patients use a compression brace that squeezes the joint like a tight glove to reduce swelling.
• Should I keep my wrist brace on while sleeping?
  Most people bend their wrists when they sleep. That puts pressure on the median nerve. A brace can help because it keeps your wrist in a straight, neutral position. Using a wrist brace at night did more to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms than using no treatment at all.
