A member asked:
Does the "band it elbow brace" help combat wrist pain as well as elbow tendinitis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably not: Tennis elbow straps work by providing a "counterforce" to decrease the load of the tendons on their attachments at the elbow.

Helps the elbow: The brace is called a tennis elbow strap. It can be helpful for tennis elbow but does not help wrist conditions.
