Back Pain

Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks. Back pain is called chronic if it lasts for more than three months. Once someone experiences a back problem or injury, it is usually the case that they need to exercise more caution and look after their spine carefully from then on, so it becomes an important health issue even if they don’t have pain right now.

How the Reclining Lift Chair May Help with Back Pain

Once someone experiences a back problem or injury, it is usually the case that they need to exercise more caution and look after their spine carefully from then on, so it becomes an important health issue even if they don’t have pain right now. Misalignments of the spine and neck, poor posture, muscle tension, injuries (old or new) and arthritis can result in considerable pain and compromise of the spinal column. The therapeutic sleep system is the best compliment to therapies to treat and prevent back pain caused by musculoskeletal problems including osteopathy, physiotherapy or chiropractic. Through proper support, promotion of correct posture and pressure relief which can be achieved in a position such as the semi-fowler position, the work of the health practitioner is promoted and enhanced.

Where there is less pressure, it may reduce the need for the sufferer to change position as frequently. Where pain and injury prevents a person from sitting in one position for too long, the lift function of the chair will help them to get in and out easily and without assistance. Vibration therapy may be of assistance in helping to relax muscles, relieve physical and emotional stress and stimulate the release of endorphins which are the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, thus reducing the reliance on pain relief medication and/or helping to increase its effectiveness. Both positioning (eg semi-fowler position) and vibration therapy may be useful in promoting sleep and enhancing the body’s natural healing ability to reduce the length and severity of incidents of back pain.
