Mobility aids for joint pain

If you suffer from chronic joint pain and it is making it difficult to get about, you may benefit from mobility aids.

While you should seek advice on managing and relieving joint pain from a professional, we can provide additional help with our range of mobility aids and equipment.

If your pain is inhibiting you from getting around the house, we have solutions available to take the load off of your affected joints, or if the pop to the shop is getting trickier, we have a range of scooters and wheelchairs available.

As a British Healthcare Trades Association member, we can provide you with useful guidance, ensuring you get the correct mobility aid to help with your joint pain.

How to relieve joint pain

First and foremost, it is crucial to seek advice and guidance from reputable medical experts.

Joint pain can be incredibly debilitating, whether it is a single toe or something larger like your back so you should absolutely not risk making things worse by taking unqualified advice.

NHS Scotland has a bank of information regarding what to do to alleviate joint pain, and when to escalate on their NHS Inform website. We strongly recommend using this resource and direct guidance from your GP or specialist doctor when looking to relieve joint pain.

If you feel that your mobility or independence is suffering as a result of joint pain, we can help, as we both sell and rent aids that make getting around a little easier.

Getting around the house with joint pain

We have a number of solutions for people suffering from joint pain that will help them navigate the home a little more easily.

If knee or back pain is inhibiting you from going upstairs, and a doctor has confirmed that your pain will likely need to be managed long-term, you could benefit from a stair lift.

If joint pain has made it more difficult to get in and out of bed and furniture, we have adjustable beds and riser recliner chairs.

If joint pain is impacting your hands, we have some excellent eating and drinking aids that can help you with food preparation and enjoying your meal.

Getting out and about with joint pain

We have a range of mobility scooters and both manual and powered wheelchairs for those looking to get about the local area without putting too much strain on sore joints.

When dealing with joint pain, while you may have exercises provided by your doctor which you should keep on top of, it’s crucial to avoid overloading the joint.

An outdoor mobility aid can help you manage and relieve joint pain without having to compromise your ability to go out and about.

If you have reaggravated previously resolved joint issues, or if you have injured yourself and only need a temporary pain management solution, we have a mobility aid hire service.
