Cold, compression, and heat therapy for wrist and hand pain — drug-free relief for carpal tunnel, arthritis, tendonitis, and sprains.
For a fresh sprain or flare-up, cold plus compression is the standard of care (the "I" and "C" in R.I.C.E.). A Soft Ice® Wrist Wrap or Hot/Cold Therapy Mitt delivers targeted cold to numb pain and calm inflammation — and the mitt cradles the whole hand.
For hands-free, longer-lasting cold — after surgery or a stubborn flare — the Polar Active Ice® 3.0 Hand & Wrist Cold Therapy System wraps the hand and wrist and circulates ice-cold water continuously.
For the aching, stiff joints of arthritis, moist heat works wonders — the Thera-Temp® Moist Heat Wrist & Hand Wrap and mitt relax stiff hands and boost circulation. One rule of thumb: skip heat on a fresh injury or swelling — lead with cold.
Want both on hand? The Wrist & Hand Pain Relief Kit pairs cold and heat, and many people alternate the two through the day — see all our Drug-Free Pain Management Kits.
