Wrist Pain From Gaming

While many outside the world of those who follow competitive gaming would laugh at the idea of a gamer getting injured, it is way more common than you would think. Gaming, also known as esports, is very popular. And get this, the top competitive gamers earn up to $6 million a year. Many U.S. universities are even offering scholarships to entice students to join their esports teams.

Smashing buttons, fast clicks, and precise movements with a mouse or joystick — the mechanical motions of playing video games are quick and repetitive.

Some of the most common injuries seen in both professional and casual gamers include:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Repetitive wrist strain injury (RSI)
  • De Quervain’s tenosynovitis
  • Gamer wrist
  • Tendonitis
  • Arthritis
  • Muscle strain

The most prevalent and serious "gamer health issue" is carpal tunnel syndrome, developing from wrist overload and stress during gaming and PC work. Without proper rest, the median nerve may become irritated and inflamed, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. The longer you play, the less chance you give your body to heal. We recommend gamers rest once an hour. At a minimum, every two hours, you should get up, stretch, and do some type of physical activity.

Gaming platforms that can contribute to wrist pain include:

  • Consoles (Nintendo®, Xbox or PlayStation®)
  • Personal computers (PC) or laptops
  • Virtual reality (VR), although professional VR gaming hasn’t taken off, yet!

Do I Need a Gaming Wrist Brace?

A cock-up laced splint, like this Gaming Wrist Brace, wraps around your thumb and wrist in such a way that you have to keep your wrists in a neutral position, which lessens stress on your carpal tunnel and tendons. These can make a huge difference in how long you can play video games or work without pain.

Think you need gaming wrist support? Check out the symptoms below. If you’re suffering from any of these, we would strongly recommend bracing and resting. Wearing this ergonomic Gaming Wrist Brace can also help you avoid hand and wrist pain in the first place.

Symptoms of a gamer wrist injury generally include:

  • Pain when gripping or clenching
  • Swelling, warmth, and redness
  • Soreness, aching, or tenderness in your hand, wrist, or forearm

If you regularly experience wrist pain during gaming, talk to your doctor. Especially if the pain continues for more than four or five days or interferes with your daily activities.

If you also get pain in your shoulders, common among Wii players, try our Posture Corrector. Be mindful when gaming for extended periods of time, as there can be negative health effects of sitting aside from wrist and shoulder pain.

Console, PC, and Laptop Gaming Accessories

To help mitigate pain, there are a variety of therapies, accessories, and devices that gamers can use in addition to our Gaming Wrist Brace. An ergonomic keyboard, mouse, monitor, desk, and chair can be extremely beneficial, especially for hardcore computer gamers and collegiate or professional esports athletes.
