Wrist injury in Basketball
Wrist Supports
The repetitive motions of dribbling and shooting in basketball can cause pain in players’ wrists. Falls can also cause pain and injuries to the wrists. Common wrist injuries in basketball may include tendonitis, sprains, fractures, and muscle tension. Tendonitis occurs when the sheath around the tendons becomes inflamed. It is caused by repetitive motions and recurring injuries, causing pain and swelling in the affected areas. A wrist sprain occurs when a ligament is torn or stretched. The symptoms may include localized pain, swelling, and numbness.

Imaging tests, arthroscopy, and nerve condition studies will help your GP diagnose the injury in severe cases. A proper diagnosis helps in a better treatment plan. Initial treatments of wrist injuries from basketball may include home remedies. You need to rest and wear splints to avoid further damages. Anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid injections help minimize the pain and inflammation. Surgery may be required if the home remedies and medications do not respond for several months.
Common wrist injuries, such as wrist sprain, may take two to ten weeks to heal. Chronic conditions, such as wrist fractures, may take longer. Basketball is an exciting game, but playing without concentration may lead to some issues.
Experts suggest some preventive measures to have a safe game experience on the basketball court. It’s best to warm up and stretch your body before each session. Wearing the right gear will keep you protected whilst playing.
Wrist supports will keep your wrist protected throughout the session. They also help reduce pain and speeding up the healing process following a wrist injury. 360 relief provides you with the best wrist supports to help with a wrist injury in basketball.
Physical therapy is great for recovery and also prevents additional harm to the fingers or wrist. Wearing a wrist brace or sleeve might be helpful to support the wrist and help to reduce pain. It might also protect your hands from recurring injury when you return to play.
The most common injuries in basketball are:
- Foot and ankle sprain
- Foot and ankle fracture
- Wrist fracture and sprain
- Knee injuries
- Deep thigh bruising
- Fingers jamming
The player can usually continue to participate in sports after a first-degree sprain. The athlete may wrap or brace the wrist and fingers to prevent fracture. Rest and elevation are also great to avoid injuries and pain while playing basketball.
- Avoid playing sports until you do not recover.
- Avoid sudden movements of hands.
- Wrap or brace your wrist.
- Rest your hands.
- Avoid repetitive motions.
A wrist brace that immobilises your wrist and treats arthritis symptoms would be great for you. It may also help you in strengthening your hands’ grip and protect your wrist from further injuries.
