Most pharmacy wrist braces hold the wrist bent back, which raises the pressure in the tunnel. Most people wear them at the desk and leave them on the nightstand. And most people wait on numbness that has stopped coming and going, which is the one thing with this condition you can’t afford to wait on.
The Carpal Tunnel Plan is my 6-week workbook: how to check the splint is actually straight and the hours that matter, the positions that squeeze the nerve all day and what to change, tendon and nerve glides in the right order, a week-6 test that tells you whether the nerve has settled or just been splinted, and the signs that mean it’s time for the nerve test, an injection or a release, with the questions to ask your doctor.
