Wrist sprains occur when the ligaments of the wrist are stretched beyond their normal limits. Wrist sprains are graded according to the severity of the injury:
Grade I: Mild injury, the ligaments are stretched, but no significant tearing has occurred.
Grade II: Moderate injury, the ligaments may be partially torn.
Grade III: Severe wrist sprain, the ligaments are completely torn, and there may be instability of the joint.
Some common symptoms of a wrist sprain include:
Pain with movement of the wrist
Swelling around the wrist joint
Bruising or discoloration of the skin
Burning or tingling sensations around the wrist
The diagnosis of a wrist sprain is made by knowing how the injury occurred, and looking at the physical examination findings. There are other wrist problems that can have similar symptoms to a sprain, including wrist tendonitis and a wrist fracture or scaphoid fracture.
To ensure that there are not broken bones around the joint, medical imaging using X-Rays and in some cases a MRI can be helpful. This may be done if the diagnosis is unclear or if the symptoms do not resolve as expected.
KT Tape provides both support and a mechanical assist to the damaged ligaments reducing pain while enabling greater range of movement during the recovery process. KT Tape is an appropriate treatment for grade I and grade II sprains and late recovery stages of grade III sprains.
Thank you!!!!! I managed to sprain both wrists left elbow and dislocate my right ankle in the same fall incident. Even holding a knife and fork hurts. A little difficult to apply one handed but i managed it and oh boy what a relief the difference is night and day. Thank you for these vids you made my christmas bearable!
Oh gosh 😭
It should help add support and stability to your wrist. Try the KT Tape Pro version, it will stay on longer.
Yes. It will help give you support and stability like the brace but it moves with your body. I would recommend the Pro as it will stay on longer. Try it our and let us know how it goes.
@mauribest1 You can wear KT Tape for multiple days at a time- including in the shower or pool. Generally the tape will last 2-3 days- but some applications such as the ones for back pain will often last the full 5 days. We recommend you don't wear KT Tape for more than 5 days at a time. Thx.
Can I wear KT tape on my dong?
Both methods are effective. The new method was simplified to make it easier to use. But if you prefer this method it will still work for you.
This works great but if you have hairy arms shave you're arm hair! Trying to take this off is just as painful as a sprained wrist ...makes me not Wana use the tape
james sweeney there is pre wrap
I always wondered the point of the first piece of tape if there's no tension on it
Its just for anchoring the joint like natural positioning. The second is what for the tension applied for a praticular minimal mvmt to reduce pain and quick cure
@clagros sure- KT Tape is available in 39 countries. Email us at info at kt tape dot com and we'll point you in the right direction. Thx.
I would start with the wrist application on our website. Let us know how it works. You can also go on our "ask an expert" forum to get a customized application from one of our clinicians.
@LehmannDaHero yes- they are 10" strips.
Is the second strip pre-cut in the middle? If I just have a roll of tape, should I cut it into a y-strip? Or is there some other preparation I should do for it?
Try the newest application for wrist on our website or the link at the beginning of this video and let us know how it goes.
@whavanas Nice- thx for the post. Does your trainer need some samples to send to his buddies in the NFL? :)
I just got a wrist sprain at football yesterday and this video really helped. Thank You
No. Duct tape will not move with your body the way the tape will which will not provide the same relief and recovery.
I see that this wrist tape application is different from the updated version, does that mean that this way was deemed incorrect/ineffective etc? Why did the taping method change?
Thanks
You're right, this one is tough on your own. If you figure out a good way to self apply, let us know!
The back of the arm isnt so difficult but the i tape ariund the wrist is. I ended uptearing the backing towards one end and holding that tab between my lips to hold it whilst pulling it and positioning with my other hand keeping the backing out of the way. Probably not the neatest way but it got the job done and the relief was immediate. I sprained both wrists to the point i have bruising 2 weeks out from injury, it hurts to text, lift a fork or knife, even just holding things let alone heavy weight like pillows, laundy etc. This technique has made a massive diffference.
I layed it flat on my bed and used my knee to hold the other side down
Sounds like you might need a customized app. Post on FB or on our website we have an "ask an expert" forum. Either location you can ask your question and we've got some docs and therapists that monitor those places (even Twitter) and they'll hook you up with a customized application.
Is it hard applying it by yourself? I don't think i can manage to do this with one hand.
I kno I’m 8 years late but yea I did it way wrong but I mean I think it’s fine lol
does duct tape work
What a w question
Yes
@@vxie8theleadgod295he never gonna know what w means
Only if you sharpen in the words KT on top of the tape.
Will this help support my wrist and relieve pain. I have a weak wrist and I do gymnastics, which is a lot of pressure on my skinny wrist. Spraining my wrist is common and I’ve stopped going to the doctor to hear the same results. Bars of pain shoot up though my ulna 🦴 when I put pressure.
Most likely. The tape will help it recover faster.
There are cuts on second I peace, can anyone tell me how long, I have sprained both, but have chronic conditions off thoracic, and cervical spine, so need to try to do min rehab everyday, looking for most secure way to do this. And I do use wrist wraps, thumb guards . First time I’ve reached out, help appreciated.thanks
I have a pain full bump on the top of my arm were my wrist is...would kt tape work to relieve pain??
I have wrist pain on and off, and when it's hurting, it's almost all the time. When it's bad, it spreads to my elbow, too. Doctors have said it isn't CTS; might be tendonitis, but they're unsure. This pain has been happening for 10+yrs. (Oh, I sprained my wrist 3yrs ago, which didn't help.) Ice doesn't help much; an ace bandage helps sometimes.
I'm going to try KT tape, but want to know what's the best, since I saw 3 ways: this video("Wrist Sprain"), the "Carpal Tunnel" one, or the "Wrist" one?
I had an accident in boxing. My wrist is injured and when I train triceps a ligament or bone jumps out of my wrist. Do you know what yours can do? Please help comes from Germany
Does this method work for sprains that has pain on the inner part of the wrist?
@anythinglurh This is a good one, but we are posting a new one for wrist sprains within the next week that will be better. Subscribe to our channel to get an alert when it posts. thx
Alright, so I sprained my wrist about 2 weeks ago and it was starting to feel better - I was using epsom salts as well as one of those wraps you get from the pharmacy aisle. Unfortunately, someone (on accident) grabbed, shook and squeezed my wrist, hand and part of my forearm and I am pretty sure, they re-sprained it because I am in a lot of pain all over again. I thought this was all I could do, but now I am doing an article about Kinesio Tape and wow, I really want to try this! I have a question though, are there stores I can buy the blue and the black tape? Or do i have to buy it online?

I sprained a wrist 8 weeks ago and I'm 15-I fell on it again today and it hurts pretty bad, I can't take another 5 weeks with a brace-that was the most annoying thing every, I'm considering buying some KT tape, would it help? My cousin is a doctor and I sent her a picture of my wrist and she said she could examine it but from what she saw, only a mild sprain, would this work for me? Thanks!

i play goalie in soccer, and my wrist gets bent a lot from stopping shots. like my wrist "over extends" and hurts super bad, would this be a good tape job for my wrist?
I think I sprained my wrist yesterday and it really hurts. I fell on it twice on my snowboard to sprain it and whenever I fall I fall on that hand. I use it for everything because it is my right arm. I'm almost 12yrs old. Any idea?

WHY DIFERENT COLOURS OF TAPE?????
style XD
To be fashionist... doesnt matter the color
Carlos Alarcon ok thank God I thought I needed both colors
why not
It’s just so it is easier to differentiate in the video. The colors are personal preference.
I'm recovering from a wrist sprain, but ive been taped differently by my therapist, he used one longer piece of tape (approx 16 inches) to run from the inside of my forearm, then went inbetween my thumb and index fingers and the continued down the back of my forearm. he then used a 10ish inch strip to go around my wrist joint. I cant do all this however with the 10inch KT tape, should i follow this video method? I found the tape on the inside of my forearm to seem to help but i dont know how necesarry it is
I sprain my hand will it recover itself?

This one works a lot better for me than the 9 minute long one with the same guy but a blonde chic in a blue shirt.
thanks
