We all use our hands daily, some of us use them a lot more often, and with repetitive motion. This can cause some painful and life changing ailments, such as RSI, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Over eight million people are affected by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome each year in the USA. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, is the number one reported medical problem accounting for about 50% of all work related injuries. From secretaries to food cashiers, and assembly workers, many are affected by the condition.
Research has shown to us, that using a wrist brace which prevents movement in the wrist, can be an affective tool in the relief of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in more than 80 % of patients. The ergonomic benefits of such products enable us to work harder, longer and safer. This is why ergonomic designers spend such large amounts of time, perfecting products like the McDavid Carpal Tunnel Wrist Support, to enable people relief and support.
The McDavid Carpal Tunnel Wrist Support, is made from 100% latex-free neoprene, which will offer you firm compression and soft tissue support. This product can relieve pain of such ailments as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Arthritis and Sprains. The neoprene, at 1/8 inch thickness, provides thermal therapy and the Velcro brand closure provides a snug fit.
The issue with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, is that the pressure within the Carpal Tunnel is normally around 10mmHG, although when patients suffer from Carpal Tunnel, the pressure rises to above 30mmHG due to swelling of the area. Then with constant movement of the wrist, the pressure can then build to over 90mmHG, this increased pressure creates symptoms such as tingling, burning pain and numbness.
The McDavid Carpal Tunnel Wrist Support, can offer basic wrist support, with the supportive splint and Velcro strap keeping your wrist in a neutral position.
So why suffer from tension, pain or discomfort any longer, if you have issues with your wrists, or even suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, then try a proven and effective tool today.
