Local Medical Suppliers Can Offer the Best Walking Aids

If you have recently had an operation, have a bad leg or back, have bad stability or generally need assistance walking then choosing the right walking aid for you is simple. There are hundreds of different types including walking sticks, Zimmer frames, crutches and rollators. Each of these will be reviewed to help you decide which item is most suitable to your needs. You can purchase any of the following from any leading medical suppliers.

Height Adjustable Bed Frames

Walking Sticks

Height Adjustable Bed Frames

Walking sticks are the traditional mobility aid. Nowadays the technology has come a long way and they can be adjusted to fit your height and can also be folded so they are easy to store when they are not in use. The most common types of walking sticks are either made of wood or aluminium - it is down to personal preference which one you choose. Aluminium walking sticks are lightweight whereas wooden walking sticks can be beautifully handcrafted. Walking sticks should have non-marking, slip resistant tips to ensure they are safe to use.

Zimmer Frames

Zimmer frames or walking frames as they are becoming more commonly known are a great walking aid. These are a frame that is positioned in front of the body with handles that the user lifts and places down when walking, providing a sturdy frame to hold on to and preventing falls. Like walking sticks they too come in lightweight aluminium - the best material as this makes them lightweight and easy to lift. Some walking frames come with front wheels so that they are easy to manoeuvre.

Crutches

Crutches are usually made from lightweight aluminium also and are commonly used as a walking aid for short term walking difficulties, such as after an operation. A good crutch has an adjustable height and an angled neck to hold on to, reducing the strain on the wrists. A closed armband on the upper arm enables the user to still hold the crutch even when the grip is released around the handle.

Rollators

Rollators allow easy mobility and movement. They can be used both indoor and outdoor and some models come with a bag which is great if you have trouble carrying shopping bags when out and about. Some models feature a cushioned seat and a cushioned safety bar if you need a quick rest. Rollators made of aluminium are lightweight and are very easy to fold away and store.

If you are looking for any hospital furniture or medical equipment for you personally or for your business, contacting local medical suppliers is a necessary action. They usually have the best prices and can sometimes offer discounts if you buy in bulk, for example you could purchase one hundred bp monitors but only pay the price for ninety.

5 Steps to Care for a Sore Back

Nearly everyone has some form of back pain at some point in their lives. The issues get worse as we age. Recent articles in the news and medical journals have stated that, most back pain does not require surgery. Also, surgery is no guarantee of long-term benefits and only nominally, short-term benefits. For most people with back pain, therefore, the best you can hope for is to manage your pain and discomfort. I recommend visiting your Doctor first to ensure there aren't more serious reasons for your pain.

Height Adjustable Bed Frames

The suggestions below for caring for a sore back are geared towards people with mild to moderate back pain. Chronic pain may require more extensive treatment. The 5 steps to care for a sore back are:

Height Adjustable Bed Frames

1. Lose Weight Carrying around too much extra weight, especially around the mid-section, puts additional strain on the lower back. Eating properly, and exercising (discussed below) are two great ways, which, taken together, can reduce lower back pain.

2. Exercise. Exercise is a universal "elixir" which is named in reducing the probability of a number of possible ailments such as heart disease. Cardiovascular work can help by reducing and maintaining weight. Weight lifting should also be a part of any exercise routine. Specific areas to focus on in order to help reduce back pain are: stomach, which helps take some of the strain off of overworked back muscles; legs, which can help by allowing you to keep and maintain proper alignment when squatting or bending to lift objects; back, the muscles in the back can be strengthened as well. It's best to consult with your Doctor and, perhaps, a licensed physical therapist or trainer before beginning any workout out routine in order to ensure you do things properly. There are a number of back stretching exercises you can do to ease the stress and pain in your back. Your Doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor will have more information.

3. Not overusing your back. Learn not to use only your back when lifting objects. It's best to squat, keeping your back straight, and using your legs to lift an object from the floor. Other "tricks' include: using your "off hand" to brace yourself while you lift with your "strong hand"; leaning on your knee or other object when bending over so as not to have your back do all the work; and getting help if needed, don't try to do it all yourself.

4. Back Treatments. There are a number of treatments you can do to help ease the pain in your back. You can have a chiropractor manipulate the muscles and bones in your back. You can apply heat, or in some cases, cold. You can get a massage. There are a number of massage devices on the market, some of which are pretty good. Not all work the same for everyone so it's best to experiment. Make sure you can try before you buy one of these products or at least make sure you understand the store's return policy.

5. Having a comfortable bed Poor mattresses are one of the biggest factors in the cause of back pain. If you sleep on an uncomfortable mattress, you're sleeping in a poor position for long periods at a time. To help alleviate those problems, mattresses should be flipped or turned every few months. If your mattress is older than 12-15 years old, you should consider replacing it. Some alternatives to traditional box spring beds are: foam padded; mechanical adjustable; and air beds and mattress. Air beds and mattresses are good because their firmness is adjustable and they conform more properly to your shape; helping maintain proper spinal alignment while you sleep. Most of the non-traditional beds can be pretty pricey. Even most of the "air" beds are pretty pricey going up to thousands of dollars. One less expensive alternative is an air mattress. Air mattresses have matured over the years. You can even get a full-sized bed that's the same height as a traditional bed, frame and box springs. The most expensive of these, made by Aero, cost under 0.00. Some even come with dual controls where each side of the bed can adjust the firmness independently.

These are just a few suggestions to help ease mild to moderate back pain. I can't stress enough, however, that you get the opinion of your Doctor before beginning any type of treatment or exercise program. Also, a bed is an important part of helping reduce back pain, consider one of the cheaper air beds as an alternative to traditional box spring beds.

Choosing Your Guest Bed

When you are furnishing your first home, moving to a new home, or making additions to your present home, you will want to plan to accommodate occasional overnight guests. When out of town family or friends come to visit, you want their stay to be fun and comfortable. If you have ever had to sleep on a couch, you know that is not usually a comfortable option.

Height Adjustable Bed Frames

Accommodating a sleepover guest for a child can be as easy as throwing down an air mattress on the floor. Or when buying a bed for your child, you can choose a bunk bed, a trundle bed, or a traditional double or queen size bed if the room can accommodate it. A bunk bed set can usually be arranged as two twin beds as well as one bed over the other. A trundle bed has a second bed under the primary bed that pulls out like a drawer. My sister used to sleep on a couch when visiting her daughter and twin grandchildren. Now they have purchased trundle beds for each child and now she sleeps on a trundle bed. Of course she has to take turns sleeping with each child.

Height Adjustable Bed Frames

There are guest bed options for adults to fit a variety of space and price needs. These include sleep sofas, futons, Murphy beds, roll-a-way beds, memory foam stackable, and air mattresses.

A good quality sleep sofa for your living room or family room might be a good option if you do not have a spare room that you can decorate as a guest room. You can buy a traditional sofa that pulls out to make a bed or you can get a futon. Although originally introduced in the US as inexpensive and temporary furniture, the futons of today can be as comfortable and stylish as you can afford. They come in many styles and price ranges and frames are made of wood or metal.

The traditional roll-a-way bed has also been modernized for 21st century demands. A comfortable mattress stows upright on the bed frame and can be rolled into a storage area such as a closet or garage. Air mattresses have also come a long way from the camping mattress many of us remember from childhood. Now called airbeds, they come raised to almost normal bed height and in queen size. You can also get them with pillow tops. Purchase price normally includes a travel bag, patch repair kit, and a pump.
