Is drumming bad for your wrists?

Top takeaways: Drumming-related injuries are very common (lifetime history was 68%). The upper limb (especially the wrist) and the lower back are the most commonly affected body parts. The two most frequently reported drumming-related injury diagnoses are tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Do wrist Supports really help?

A brace can help because it keeps your wrist in a straight, neutral position. A 2012 study found that using a wrist brace at night did more to relieve carpal tunnel symptoms than using no treatment at all. You may also find it helpful to wear a brace during the day, especially during activities that trigger flare-ups.

Do wrist wraps help wrist pain?

Their purpose is to keep your wrist neutral. The goal is to keep the wrist from flexing back or forward when lifting by taking the wrap's elastic material and stretching it around the wrist to make a cast-like structure. Wrist wraps help prevent wrist injuries and keep the wrist pain-free.

How long should you wear a wrist support?

You should continue to wear a brace for at least 4 to 8 weeks or until your symptoms are gone. Wearing a wrist brace at night, can also help decrease any swelling and lessen the pressure on the nerve.
