Wrist Braces for Sprains and Instability

Shop wrist braces for a sprained wrist or a wrist that feels loose and weak. Choose a soft wrap for a mild sprain or a rigid splint that holds the wrist still while the ligaments heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I wear a brace for a sprained wrist?

A brace can rest the wrist and protect the ligaments while they heal. Moderate sprains often need a wrist splint, so ask your doctor.

Suggested: Breg Wrist 8 in. Lacer Wrist Brace

How do I know if my wrist sprain is serious?

Bad swelling, bruising or pain that does not ease in a few days can mean a severe sprain or a break. See a doctor to rule out a fracture.

What does wrist instability feel like?

An unstable wrist may feel weak, click or give way when you grip or push up from a chair. A rigid brace can steady it during daily tasks.
