CMC Joint Pain; how Gripz Sher-Hold Devices can help you get your grip back on life

The Carpometacarpal joint is located at the base of the thumb, allowing the thumb to move freely in many directions as well as providing strength for grasping and gripping. Over time, use of the joint can cause stress that leads to a breakdown in the cartilage, leading to CMC joint pain. Thumb pain or weakness, as well as swelling and stiffness, are common symptoms of osteoarthritis of the CMC joint

Gripz Sher-Hold devices are designed to help those suffering from CMC joint pain, allowing users to regain the ability to use their thumb in day to day activities, such as eating, writing and brushing their teeth, as well as pursuing their passions like painting, crocheting and guitar playing. Granting users the control and comfort of holding their tools effortlessly allows for a focus on creativity while avoiding CMC joint pain, stress and discomfort. 

In addition to helping those already experiencing CMC joint pain, Gripz Sher-Hold devices can also help prevent future issues by maintaining the hand in a “C” position, ensuring that pressure is evenly distributed around the joint and therefore reducing stress and discomfort.
