Pain in the wrist region is very common and can take different forms. In addition to sports-related injuries, it is often caused by constant stress or chronic illness. Excessive strain on the wrist can result in inflammation of a tendon and its sheath (tendonitis), a very painful condition with severely stabbing or pulling pain. However, this diagnosis requires medical clarification to rule out potential differential diagnoses. In addition to tendonitis, there a numerous other diagnosis such as for example carpal tunnel syndrome, ganglion cyst, (De Quervain's) tenosynovitis or arthrosis.

Treatment of the wrist
The NOVAFON device can be used for the regulation of muscle tone and treatment of the sore areas of the wrist. NOVAFON treatment takes a total of 10–15 minutes per side and can be repeated up to twice daily. Before you start, plug your NOVAFON into the socket, take a comfortable seat on a chair and put your arm down. Carry out the treatment on the affected side, or both sides if required. Make sure to follow the steps outlined here precisely.
1 – TREATMENT OF THE HAND AND THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FOREARM
Select the plate attachment, switch the NOVAFON to level II and begin by moving the device over the entire palm of the hand and the inner surface of the forearm, between the wrist and elbow crook, for 2–3 minutes. Repeat the same treatment on the outside of the hand and forearm.
2 – CIRCLING OF THE WRIST
Now, circle the wrist for 2–3 minutes to treat it from all sides.
3 – TREATMENT OF SORE AREAS
Switch to the ball attachment and to level I, and focus on the sore areas for 30–60 seconds. You may have already identified them during the initial stroking movements. If not, palpate your wrist and hand. Repeat this treatment up to twice a day.

I heard about NOVAFON from my occupational therapist and I’m really happy with the device. My hand was stiff and now I can almost write normally again. 1, 2, 3 User C., 03/01/2018, NOVAFON classic
