What is the Safe Zone?

The Search for an Answer

 

As a licensed chiropractor, teacher, and sufferer of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), the search for an answer to this painful condition has always been close to my heart.  Due to repetitive stress, during my 30 years as a practicing Chiropractor, at the age of 50 I began developing the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: weakness, numbness, & wrist pain.  My symptoms often kept me from sleeping at night.  I knew I needed to find a device that would stop my wrist pain and help me sleep at night but that was flexible enough to wear while I went about my daily work routine.  Being an expert in my field I thought finding the right brace, splint or new technology would be easy... But I was wrong!

 

There was no practical ergonomic wrist brace specifically designed for pain relief and prevention of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome— until now!

 

I suffered with wrist pain and sleepless nights for years rather than confine my wrists to the uncomfortable, medically unproven, braces or splints that were so clumsy and restricting they prevented me from performing my daily work as a Chiropractor.  Even worse, I treated patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome every day and had no answer when they asked: "Isn't there anything I can do to stop my wrist pain and continue to do my job?"  People with jobs such as:

Accountant, assembly line worker, bus driver, cashier, barber, factory worker, keyboard operator, meat packer, reservationists, secretary, supermarket checker, telemarketer, telephone operator, truck driver, typist, word-processor, writer.

In fact, practically anyone who does repetitive work with their hands can develop CTS. I knew something had to be done! So I launched a 6 year crusade to find the answer. I researched the causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the kinds of jobs it affects, and the numerous deficient and sometimes harmful devices for CTS currently on the market. I wanted my device to not only stop wrist pain, help people sleep at night, and allow them to go about their daily work routines– but also to help prevent CTS in people who didn’t already have it.

After 6 years of research, I am pleased to present “The Safe-Zone” ergonomic wrist brace for the pain relief and prevention of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In my research I found recent studies using ultrasound imaging and electro-diagnostic analysis have discovered a “Safe Zone” between 0 and 15 degrees where the human wrist can sustain and repeat extension without putting pressure on the Carpal Tunnel.

The Safe-Zone wrist brace keeps your wrist inside this 15 degree range, both relieving and preventing the inflammation that causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.  But in addition, the revolutionary open hand design gives you considerable freedom and mobility so you can go about your daily work routine, whatever your job is, keeping your wrists comfortably in The Safe-Zone!

The Safe-Zone provides a safe, gentle reminder to maintain proper wrist posture in any environment.
