Walking Canes

Walking sticks and canes serve different purposes.

A walking cane relieves pressure from your leg joints and aids in balance.

A walking stick provides stability when walking on rough terrain. It does not serve well as a permanent stability aid.

Mobility devices, such as canes and walkers, will help you maintain your balance when you age. Is it better to walk with a cane or a walker? Which is better? Let’s find out.

A cane for back pain is an ideal option for anyone suffering from lower back pain. Walking with a bad back without a cane can worsen your situation. So how does a cane help with back pain? Let’s find out.

When buying a new walking cane, you will find that retailers claim certain canes are better suited for males or females.

Does that matter, as many models are marketed as unisex.

If you are not too familiar with canes, it can look like there are only one or two types. But there are at least five different types of canes on the market.

Each has its function, tailored to suit individuals with varying needs and different injuries or medical conditions.

Walking canes are challenging to put away and often fall to the floor, as most canes cannot stand by themselves.

To prevent your cane from falling over, we have the perfect solution: a cane holder.

The cane holder enables you to hang your cane from a table or counter.

Canes are usually height-adjustable, but if not, you can estimate the height by dividing your height by two, so 76-inch tall should order a 38-inch cane.

When using a cane, your elbow should bend around 15-20 degrees.

The proper height of your cane is essential, as incorrect length can cause discomfort.
