Manufacturing work can put a great deal of stress on the body, and it is one of the worst industries to work at when it comes to your hands and wrists. As a person that works in manufacturing, you are probably performing the same tasks hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day, and that repetitive stress really adds up.

For some in manufacturing, their job may require them to work on objects that are on a conveyor belt all day, for others, it could be using the same set of tools or operating the same piece of machinery for hours. In some cases, it might be the constant handling and assembling of parts. Whatever it may be, the years of performing these tasks can easily lead to significant pain in the hands or wrists.

As with any job, finding time to rest will help, but in manufacturing, this time is often in short supply. A good tip for some people is to try to wear a brace on the wrists or even the hands. As long as they do not get in the way of the work, the restricted mobility can help to save the joints and tendons. If the problem gets severe, then you may need to see a doctor. The doctor may be able to prescribe therapy that can protect the hands from injury and restore movement.
