Wrist pain

Wrist pain is a common problem and can affect people of any age. The wrist allows movements such as grasping, lifting and turning. Causes of wrist pain are diverse and include tendonitis, wrist instability, and muscle hardening of the forearm muscles. Other causes can include arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, injuries such as fractures or sprains, and overloading. Symptoms often include pain in the wrist that can radiate to the hand or forearm, as well as swelling, stiffness and limited mobility.

Information


General information about the wrist

The wrist is a complex and central joint of the human body that connects the hand to the forearm. It consists of eight small bones arranged in two rows, and allows a wide range of motion such as bending, stretching, turning and lateral movements of the hand. This freedom of movement is essential for everyday activities such as grasping, lifting and writing. The wrist is stabilized by strong ligaments and muscles that ensure the mobility and resilience of the joint.

Causes of wrist pain

Wrist pain can be triggered by various factors that affect both the soft tissues and bony structures of the wrist. Here are some of the most common causes:

  • Tendonitis: Repeated movement or overload can lead to inflammation of the tendon sheaths, causing pain and swelling.
  • Wrist instability: Injuries or excessive strain on the wrist can lead to instability of the wrist, causing pain and feeling unsafe when moving.
  • Muscle hardening: Overloading the forearm muscles can lead to muscle hardening, causing pain and movement limitations in the wrist.
  • Arthritis: Inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis can affect the wrist and cause pain and stiffness.
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: Narrowing of the carpal tunnel can compress the nerves in the wrist and cause pain, numbness, or tingling in the hand.
  • Injuries: Fractures, sprains, or bruises from accidents or falls can cause acute pain and swelling in the wrist.

How does K-Active Tape help with wrist pain?

The K-Active Tape provides targeted support for wrist pain by stabilizing and relieving the affected area. Due to its elastic properties, the tape adapts to the movements of the wrist without restricting the freedom of movement. This supports the muscles and reduces the strain on the joint. The gentle lifting of the skin by the tape improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow, reducing swelling and inflammation. At the same time, the tape stimulates the sensory receptors, reducing the perception of pain.
