What is wrist osteoarthritis?
Every joint in the human body is lined with articular cartilage. This type of cartilage decreases friction in the joint and provides a layer of cushion between the bones so the joint can move smoothly and pain-free. Over time, the articular cartilage wears thin and in some places can diminish entirely. This is known as osteoarthritis.
What causes wrist osteoarthritis?
When the articular cartilage of a joint is completely worn away, the bones in the joint collide and cause what is known as bone-on-bone pain. Swelling, stiffness, and difficulty using the wrist and hand are also commonly seen symptoms of wrist arthritis.

How will a wrist brace help with the symptoms of wrist arthritis?
The right brace will alleviate pain and provide stability to the joint with medical-grade compression and supportive, customizable stays and straps. For mild cases of arthritis, a simple wrist compression wrap can work to alleviate painful symptoms. For moderate or severe cases of arthritis, a brace with more stability will be the better choice.
