What are the best chairs for people with back pain?

Many people today suffer from back pain; it seems that according to recent statistics, at least eighty percent of the population has suffered from this annoying problem at least once.

Modern life, which is extremely sedentary, certainly does not help to prevent the onset of back pain in the correct way. Especially for those who, for professional reasons, find themselves sitting at their office desk for many hours a day, back pain can be a problem that is always ready to attack the serenity of everyday life.

Fortunately, ergonomics has made giant strides in the last decade, and today it is therefore possible to carry out a series of measures to counteract this type of problem; first of all, it is necessary to have a seat that is as healthy and correct as possible during the day: this can only result in the use of an ergonomic chair for the office or home.

Back pain for office workers

Those who spend many hours of the week sitting at their office desk for professional reasons will be particularly exposed to the possibility of back pain.

At first you will only feel an unpleasant feeling of tension in your shoulders, but afterwards it will turn into a considerable discomfort in the neck, until the symptoms degenerate into a pain that will articulate along the entire spine, until it reaches the lumbar area.

The main cause of the onset of painful symptoms in the back is obviously to be found in the particularly uncomfortable sedentary position, which often leads to crossing the legs or excessively relaxing the back. Let's see how it is possible to cure, but above all prevent the onset of back pain from sedentary activity in the office.

The correct posture to avoid back pain

To prevent the onset of back pain, it is first of all necessary to try not to sit too long and often get up from your workstation. When you are sitting down, you should try to keep your neck and shoulders relaxed by doing short stretching exercises and movements; of course this may not always be possible for people who spend many hours in front of their computer during the day.

However, it is important to try to keep your back as straight as possible, with your head aligned with your neck and knees at 90 degree angles; optimising this position can sometimes be easier said than done.

In order to maintain as much as possible an adequate and healthy seat, it is essential that your chair has been designed and modulated with respect to your desk, or in any case that the seat and backrest are adjustable; without an ergonomic chair, despite the constant efforts to maintain a correct posture, back pain could still occur.

Buying an ergonomic chair with your back in mind

The solution to prevent the onset of back pain is very simple: to have the right chair to help maintain the right posture. Ergonomic chairs have been designed and studied to minimise the pain caused by long hours spent sitting. There are many models of ergonomic chairs on the market, designed to counteract a series of problems arising from sedentary life.

Advantages of ergonomic chairs

A quality ergonomic chair will guarantee you first of all the correct lumbar support: the latter is fundamental because it is the element that accompanies us towards the correct posture, erect and never too relaxed on our seat.

An ergonomic chair must also be characterised by its adjustable height, which allows us to adapt desks of different heights. Some ergonomic chairs are equipped with armrests, which can be raised or lowered as you wish, ensuring the possibility of aligning the arms to the surface of the desk, keeping the upper limbs at the correct height: this is essential to relieve tension in the neck and shoulders and relax the whole body as a whole.

Another fundamental element of an ergonomic chair is the backrest: some people prefer chairs with higher backrests, while other people need higher backrests. The synchronised oscillation locking mechanism, together with the anti-shock locking system, also facilitates movement along the desk, which is essential to reduce physical strain during movements.
