How it works
Maintains the wrist in a neutral position, minimising carpal tunnel pressure. Nocturnal flexion and extension of the wrist during sleep significantly increases tunnel pressure — splinting prevents this.
Neutral-position splint (not in extension) is critical — extension can worsen symptoms. Available from pharmacies and physiotherapists. Consistent nightly use for at least 6 weeks recommended.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
