Have you suffered a hand or wrist injury? An injury to the hand or wrist can be quite debilitating, leading to painful symptoms and significantly impacting one’s day-to-day life. Simple tasks such as lifting a mug or typing on a keyboard can become a struggle, due to the pain and lack of mobility caused by the injury. This is where a wrist splint can be a game-changer! But what makes a wrist splint so effective? Let’s delve into how wrist splints work and the various injuries and conditions they can help manage.

Understanding Wrist Splints: How they Work

Wrist splints are designed to provide four key elements to your healing process: immobilization, support, compression, and protection. Let’s unpack what these elements mean and why they are crucial for the healing of hand and wrist injuries.

Immobilization & Support: Wrist splints work by restricting movement in the wrist, which allows the damaged tendons and ligaments to rest and heal. The support provided by the splint holds the wrist in a neutral position, preventing it from bending or twisting in ways that could cause further damage.
Compression: This aspect reduces swelling and inflammation, two prevalent symptoms of wrist injuries.
Protection: Wrist splints shield the injured area from external harm and shock that could potentially exacerbate the injury.

By offering these vital components, a wrist splint can significantly enhance your recovery. Whilst, neglecting to use a wrist splint when dealing with a wrist injury could derail your recovery, potentially leading to long-term damage.

The Injuries and Conditions a Wrist Splint Can Help Treat

We will now look at the various injuries and conditions that can benefit from the use of a wrist splint and why:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition that affects around 4 percent of the UK population. It is most prevalent in people aged 40 to 60 and particularly among women, who are three times more likely to get it than men. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is characterized by numbness, tingling, and discomfort in the hand and fingers, due to pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. It can be caused by repetitive hand use, wrist injury, or other health conditions like diabetes or arthritis. A study published in the Journal of Hand Surgery showed significant improvement in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome symptoms among patients who wore a wrist splint. The splint provides support and restricts wrist movement, alleviating nerve pressure and reducing symptoms.

Tendonitis: Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons, which are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones. It tends to affect athletic and physically active individuals or those with jobs that involve repetitive motion. The key symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. In the UK, it is estimated that 1 in 50 people will experience tendonitis at some point in their life. Wearing a wrist splint can be highly beneficial for tendonitis sufferers. The splint immobilizes the wrist, allowing the tendons to rest and recover. It also helps minimize swelling and pain.

Wrist Fractures: Wrist fractures are a common injury in the UK, especially in older people due to osteoporosis. They often occur from falls or sports injuries. Symptoms include severe pain, tenderness, bruising, and swelling in the wrist. In some cases, the wrist may also appear deformed. According to a study in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, using a wrist splint can help stabilize the fracture, reduce pain, and promote faster healing.
Wrist Sprains: Wrist sprains are a common injury, often resulting from falls or sudden twists. They are characterized by pain, swelling, discoloration, and a diminished ability to move the wrist. Though they can occur at any age, those engaged in sports or physical activities are more at risk. Wrist splints are widely recommended for sprain management. Numerous medical studies have shown that wearing a splint can help reduce pain and improve wrist functionality in sprain patients. By restricting wrist movement, the splint provides stability, minimizing the risk of further injury and promoting healing.

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: This condition causes pain and swelling in the wrists and is usually associated with overuse of the thumb tendons. It’s more common in women than men, especially in new mothers. Symptoms include pain and swelling near the base of the thumb, difficulty moving the thumb and wrist when grasping or pinching, and a ‘sticking’ sensation in the thumb when moving it. The British Medical Journal (BMJ) published a study indicating that immobilizing the thumb and wrist with a splint can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Arthritis: Arthritis is a chronic condition affecting around 10 million people in the UK. It causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain and stiffness. Wrist arthritis is not uncommon and can severely hinder hand function. While it can develop at any age, it is more prevalent among the elderly. A research study found that wrist splints significantly improved grip strength and reduced pain in arthritis patients. The splint provides support to the wrist joint, reducing strain on the affected area and helping alleviate symptoms.

Remember, while wrist splints can provide relief and support, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare professional to choose the right splint and ensure it’s worn correctly.
