Did you know that repetitive motion with your wrists can cause wrist pain? This can happen from sports or job activities where wrist motion is frequent, such as in tennis or stocking shelves. Wrist injuries are also common because we naturally put our hands out when falling. Activities such as snowboarding, skateboarding and gymnastics can put you at risk for wrist injuries. Wearing a wrist brace may help prevent wrist pain and also help you avoid wrist injuries. Wrist supports may also help alleviate pain from conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

If you've ever injured your thumb then you know how important our thumbs are during everyday tasks and activities. Simple chores such as brushing teeth, tying shoelaces or drawing a picture suddenly become painful. Thumb injuries can occur due to repetitive use or through blunt trauma. The most common form of thumb injuries is from activities that involve the hands. For example, many sports put your thumbs at risk. Volleyball, football, basketball and baseball all involve catching or hitting a ball at high speeds. Sometimes the force of the ball against your thumb during these activities may cause an injury. Thumb supports and braces can help prevent thumb injuries or protect your thumb after an injury has occurred.
