Pain and sensation of the hand comes from pressure on the median nerve which travels through the wrist via a space called the carpal tunnel. Several conditions and injuries can cause this space to swell which puts significant pressure on the median nerve. Arthritis, pregnancy, a fall, or a repeated motion of the hand all can cause the carpal tunnel to become inflamed. BioSkin Wrist braces are designed to reduce inflammation and provide stability to the joint with medical-grade compression and customizable stays and straps.
