1.Bracing the wrist at a neutral angle helps to decrease the repetitive flexion and rotation which in turn relieves the mild soft tissue swelling. Wrist braces are most effective when they are used within the first 3 months of symptoms. The best way to use wrist braces depends on your particular needs and preferences.
