Rugby is the most popular sport played by people of all ages. As it is a high contact sport, the chances of injuries are high. Rugby players can hurt any part of their body, including their wrists and hands. A wrist sprain is the most common wrist-related injury in rugby, resulting from repetitive movements, collisions, and a direct fall. It most usually occurs during mauling, tackling, and rucking opponents. More severe conditions can also cause rugby jersey finger fractures, and thumb dislocations.
Based on these imaging tests, your GP can create effective treatment plans for you. To reduce the initial symptoms, like pain and swelling, your GP will suggest some conservative measures including, rest, massage, compression, and over-the-counter medications. Conservative measures take a few weeks to reduce symptoms; however, fractures and other severe conditions may take longer to heal. To speed up the recovery process, ensure that you are following the instructions of your GP carefully.
It is advisable to wear wrist and hand supports to keep your wrists and hands safe during playing. Braces work as protective gears, helping keep your wrists and hands protected from extra pressure and stress.
