Sit Healthy - Work Happy: Treat Your Body To A Computer Back Chair
Working in the back care business for more than 20 years, we have essentially heard it all as it applies to back pain. We’ve met people who accept back pain as a non-negotiable aspect of getting older, those who have had surgeries that didn’t work to cure their pain, and as such have given up hope on every feeling back relief, and even a few people who have told us that humans were never meant to stand upright, and because we did and do, pain is our fate. We aren’t sure how you feel about it, but whether or not we were ‘meant to stand upright’, we’re not going to stop anytime soon! And neither is the rest of the world. But that certainly doesn’t mean that you have to accept back pain as an insurmountable rite of passage or inevitability. The answer to relieving back pain isn’t the same for everyone, but for those that spend a great deal of time at a desk, a computer back chair is a smart start.
For most of us with desk jobs, there is no other time of day that we are sedentary for so long. Once we’re home, we’re moving about the kitchen preparing meals, catching glances at our favorite television shows while we wash, dry and fold laundry, tidying up the house and sweeping the porch and doing any of a million other things that fill those 7 or so hours that aren’t spent sleeping and working or driving to and from work. And while some of these activities can play a role in causing or exacerbating our back pain, for many of us it is the time at the keyboard that is at the root of the ache. A computer back chair can go a long way toward reducing or eliminating that pain. Let’s take a closer look at 2 popular chairs for upper back pain and lower back pain…
Computer Back Chair to Alleviate Upper Back Pain
Do you feel pinching, stress or strain across your upper back? Take note of how you’re sitting. Is your upper back supported? Many office chairs do not provide adequate back support to promote proper posture and prevent upper back pain. Our top recommendation to help in resolving upper back pain is the BodyBilt Highback Executive computer back chair. The ultimate everyday indulgence, this ergonomic office chair conforms to your body and offers every level of adjustability you need to create a chair that’s as close to custom as most of us will ever get!
Computer Back Chair to Aleviate Lower Back Pain
Many of us experience lower back pain due to a lack of lumbar support. Our spines have a natural curve that must be maintained for optimum comfort, and many chairs simply do not provide this necessary support. Our top recommendation for remediating lower back pain is actually one of our most affordable ergonomic chairs – the Enterprise computer back chair from our own Galaxy Collection. A sleek, sophisticated office chair that will blend well into any office setting, the support is something you can see at first glance. But seeing isn’t believing – feeling is believing! And we fully believe that you will feel the difference this computer back chair will bring. Important features include: arm and seat height adjustability, adjustable lumbar support, and a waterfall seat design that relieves pressure on the knees and promotes circulation.
