What is a bruised wrist
A wrist bruise is the painful consequence of overexertion, a wrong movement or a hard fall caught by the hands. The difference between a bruise, sprain or bone fracture is often difficult to feel in the wrist. Despite the different causes, the symptoms often have the same symptoms. However, there is a big difference in the recovery process. That is why it is important to know which complaint is actually involved.
How can you treat a bruised wrist?
A bruised wrist is best treated by giving it enough rest to recover naturally. In addition, an ice treatment ensures less swelling and numbs the pain. Rub ice on the area for about 10 minutes at a time. Never hold ice directly against your skin but place it on a dry towel, for example, to prevent frostbite. To avoid making the wrong movements during the rest period, it is wise to wear a brace. A brace helps to keep the wrist in the right position so that you can also do other things more easily. In addition, it is also an option to tap into your wrist.
What does a wrist brace provide?
A brace ensures that the wrist is stabilized from the outside. This ensures that the tendons and muscles in the wrist get enough rest to be able to heal properly. Without this calm and stability, it is almost impossible for the wrist to recover. Without protection, the chance that you will bump your hand or move it incorrectly and the pain will worsen is very high. look below for more information about braces on this page to see which brace for bruised wrist best suits your injury.
