Wrist band: How it helps with common wrist problems

Fractures to the tibia and scaphoid can cause severe pain in the wrist. Depending on the type of fracture and the location, the fracture is first realigned and then immobilized with a splint on the arm. Rehabilitation is aided by physical therapy and the use of a wrist splint.

Fractures, dislocations in the bones of the wrist and years of incorrect or excessive use can destroy the cartilage of these joints and cause pain that cannot be pinpointed, occasionally causing swelling in the wrist. In some cases, acute wrist osteoarthritis is treated with pain medication and wrist wraps or splints that limit extreme range of motion. 

The carpal tunnel, formed by the carpal bones and a transverse ligament, receives various extensor tendons and the median nerve, which provides sensation to the fingers. Pain occurs in the hand when this tube becomes narrowed, a condition that can be the result of hematomas or overuse of the wrist. The most common symptom is painful numbness in the fingers (like an unpleasant tingling sensation), especially at night. Shaking or rubbing the affected hand helps provide immediate relief, while long-term treatment involves relieving symptoms through the use of a splint that immobilizes the wrist.
