Why back support chairs are critical for back pain relief

Posted in Uncategorized on July 3rd, 2009

If you suffer with back pain, and spend a lot of your day sitting down, you can get some much needed back pain relief by selecting a proper back support chair. Your chair should have chair arms. Chair arms take the weight of your arms off your back. They’re not critical, but they are helpful. If you have to make do without them, rest your arms in your lap.

The back support

Most secretarial and executive desk chairs have lumbar-support contours, which are designed for lower back pain relief, but even the best of them aren’t as effective for low back sufferers as the unadorned straight-backed chair with the back support of your choice - a rolled-up towel, cushion, pillow or commercially available backrest. Anything that provides the hollow of your back with something to rest on tends to relieve (or prevent) nagging low back pain.
