Power Wheelchairs For Back Pain

 

Back pain is the most frequent health problem amongst adults in the United States. In some cases, back pain can be extremely debilitating, requiring surgery and/or mobility aids. A power wheelchair with a seat designed to relieve pressure on your back may be the perfect mobility aid needed to get you moving comfortably again.

We recommend the following power wheelchairs: the Jazzy 1450 Power Wheelchair, the Shoprider 6 Runner 14 Power Wheelchair and the Compass HD Power Wheelchair.
