Medical benefits of Adjustable Beds
I was looking for medical benefits of adjustable beds on web and came across researches by expert doctors, their recommendations and health advantages of adjustable beds. I have listed them below:
Dr. Steven R. Garfin, MD, Professor and Chair, Department of Orthopaedics, University of California, San Diego, CA says that What we sleep on can make a big difference in the quality of sleep we get every night.
* The federal Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has recognized that the use of an adjustable bed can help in the treatment of numerous medical conditions. While not advocating adjustable beds as a cure the FDA has cleared the use of adjustable beds for treating minor aches and pains to more serious medical maladies.
* Doctors are of the opinion that Adjustable beds are different than standard flat beds because they allow users to change the incline angle of the head of the bed and at the foot of the bed as well.
* Occupational therapist are of the opinion that slight incline of the head (no more than 45º), coupled with additional support under the knees, can help reduce pain, particularly leg and back pain from herniated discs and/or spinal stenosis.
* It also helps a patient to get out of bed without having to roll and sit up, ease swelling of the legs, ease back pain and offset acid reflux and heart burn.
* They are useful for degenerative spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, and any problem with neck, spine and knees.
* Medical adjustable beds are designed to suit the exact requirements of the user like condition of the patient and the exact position the body, simply touching a button.
* They are useful for disabled, elderly and invalid users, regardless of whether the handicap is permanent or temporary.
* The bottom line is, if you do have health problems, or simply want to sleep more naturally, there are few things as effective as adjustable beds.
