How Home Modifications Can Help Lower Back Pain
If you live with chronic lower back pain, there is a good chance that your home is not suitable for your needs. While physical therapy can provide great benefits when it comes to improving movement, the progress will be slower if you are continually aggravating your condition at home.
Stairs, bathtubs, showers, slick floors, and more can lead to an increased risk of falls and a reliance on awkward movements. When you make modifications in your home to suit your needs, you increase your ability to allow the affected area to rest and recover.
Some common modifications recommended to patients depending on the severity of the condition are:
- Slip-resistant mats on slick floors
- Walk-in showers
- Reduced use of low bathtubs
- Raised seating
- Power lift recliners
- Wheelchair ramps
- Handrails in showers
- Moving beds to the first floor
- Home monitoring
- Medical alert systems
- Caretaker
Your physical therapist will recommend which of these modifications might be beneficial for you. In addition to this, your physical therapist might refer you to an occupational therapist or additional medical specialist to help you learn how to properly take advantage of the modifications. At the end of the day, we are a team, and we want you to be the happiest and most comfortable in your daily life.
