If you experience tingling and numbness in your hands, it may be due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve, which runs through the wrist. Symptoms typically occur when the wrist is bent for an extended period of time, such as when typing on a keyboard or using a handheld device. A brace can help to relieve symptoms by keeping the wrist in a neutral position. The brace applies gentle pressure to the wrist and helps to take some of the weight off of the median nerve. In addition, the brace can help to prevent further injury by protecting the wrist from further bending. If you are experiencing tingling and numbness in your hands, make sure to get a brace or wrist support to start treatment immediately.
