How to Choose the Right Walking Cane Size | ACG Medical Blog

Half of all cane users are doing it wrong. They’re hunched over, shoulders elevated, or leaning awkwardly—turning what should be a stability tool into a source of chronic pain. The culprit? A cane that’s two inches too long or three inches too short. When it comes to choosing a walking cane, most people eyeball it, they grab something that looks reasonable, and wonder why their neck hurts after a week.​ The problem isn’t that sizing information doesn’t exist—it’s that the stakes are rarely explained. A cane that’s off by just a little can throw your posture out of whack, strain your shoulders and spine, and ironically make slipping or falling more likely. Understanding why the right measurements are so important turns picking a cane from a shot in the dark into an intentional decision. ACG Medical Supply offers a wide range of walking canes in various materials to ensure you find the perfect fit for your needs.
