Living with spinal stenosis comes with challenges every day. Creating a supportive environment can be helpful to combating these challenges. Here are things you can do at home to create a supportive environment:
- Assistive Devices: There are a lot of great devices out there that help those with spinal stenosis. You could use a reacher tool to grab things without bending and twisting. You could also install bars around your house to help stabilize yourself and prevent falls.
- Ergonomic Furniture: Investing in ergonomic chairs and desks can help to promote your posture and reduce pain.
- Space Organization: Arrange your furniture in a way that provides you with clear, wide pathways that are easy to move through. This helps to minimize the risk of tripping.
