Why is the wrist easily sprained

The wrist is easily sprained, mainly due to various factors such as insufficient warm-up, insufficient muscle strength, local strain, excessive weight-bearing, and old injuries. These factors act alone or together to cause damage to soft tissues such as wrist joint ligaments and tendons, leading to sprains.

1. Insufficient warm-up

If you do not warm up sufficiently before exercise, the soft tissues of the wrist are easily injured, resulting in local pain and swelling.

2. Insufficient muscle strength

When the muscle strength around the wrist is weak, sprains, swelling and limited bending may easily occur.

3. Local strain

Excessive use of the wrist, such as typing for a long time or performing repetitive movements, can cause local strain and increase the risk of sprains.

4. Bearing too much weight

The wrist bears too much weight for a long time, exceeding its endurance limit, and it is easy to cause sprains.

5. Old injuries

The wrist has an old injury and has not fully recovered. It is prone to repeated sprains, pain and limited movement.

After a wrist sprain, treatment may include cold compresses, medication, and surgical intervention if necessary. Commonly used drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, which are used to relieve inflammation; analgesics such as tramadol hydrochloride, which are used to reduce pain; and soft tissue repair drugs such as Panlong Qipian, which promote tissue repair. In addition, drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Panax notoginseng tablets, are also commonly used to treat sprains.

The key to preventing wrist sprains is to fully warm up, enhance muscle strength, avoid excessive use of the wrist, bear reasonable weight, and treat old injuries in a timely manner. For people who often need to use their wrists, they should pay more attention to protecting and exercising their wrists to reduce the risk of sprains.
