Why Are Stair Lifts So Popular?

A stair lift can eliminate the pain, fear and worry of using your stairs. Typical stair lift users are people experiencing pain or weakness in their back, hips, knees, and legs when using stairs. Other conditions that may warrant a stair lift include balance issues, general weakness, back problems, heart conditions, side effects of medications, COPD, neuropathy (numbness in feet and legs), and arthritis to name a few.

Many people consider moving out of their home when stairs become dreaded obstacles in your current home. However, many people find moving is much more expensive and disruptive to their lives than making some easy and affordable modifications to your existing home.
