Both wrist sprains or strains, mild to severe, can be treated with help of wrist braces. An injury occurring to the ligaments in a wrist is called a sprain while an injury to the tendons or muscles is a strain. Both may result in pain, swelling and/or weakness that can be assisted through the use of a brace. A variety of lightweight braces that are easy to take on and off yourself can be found in the One Bracing store.
