Why do you need an active ergonomic chair for lower back pain?

You can develop serious health issues by all-day-long passive sitting in an inappropriate chair. The back is made up of a complex system of bones, muscles, and ligaments that work together to support the body and keep it upright. This system is vulnerable to injury and pain, particularly in the lower back. If you spend 5+ hours of your day glued to your office chair, you might already be feeling lower back pain. Some people don't realize that their computer chair relates to their back problems. Most people are aware that back muscles are essential for supporting the spine. However, many people don't realize that weak back muscles can actually be dangerous for your spine condition. When back muscles that shall support the spine are weak, they can't provide adequate support for the spine. This can lead to a number of problems, including chronic back pain, irreversible changes in your spine, such as spinal disc herniation, and even nerve damage. That's why it's so important to keep your back muscles strong and healthy. An active ergonomic office chair will help you to strengthen your back and core muscles and relieve the lower back pain.

What Is Active Sitting?

You may have heard of the term "active sitting," but what does it mean? Simply put, active sitting is a way of sitting that engages your core muscles and back muscles in order to support the upper body and help you maintain good posture. So it's the opposite of passive sitting and slouching in the chair.
You can only sit actively in an office chair that has been designed for active sitting. SpinaliS Active Sitting Chairs have a seat on the spring that allows for rocking and tilting in all directions.
The health benefits of active sitting are numerous. To start, it helps to improve posture and prevent slouching. Additionally, it helps to strengthen the back muscles, which are responsible for supporting the spine. Active sitting can also help to improve circulation and increase oxygenation of the blood. And last but not least, it can help to reduce overall fatigue and tension. In short, active sitting is a great way to promote good health and well-being.

How Can Active Sitting Help Relieve Lower Back Pain?

When you stand, the pressure on your spinal discs is minimal. But when you sit down on an office chair with a fixed seat (or dining chair, car seat, or sofa..), the pressure on your spinal discs rises. Firstly, your entire upper body weight rests on your spinal discs, particularly in the lumbar region. Secondly, while seated in a chair, the pressure also comes from below your pelvis. The discs in your lower back take the brunt of the damage. However, when you sit upright in the SpinaliS Chair with your back and core muscles engaged, the pressure on your spinal discs is reduced by 75%. That is why you feel relief while sitting on SpinaliS chair.
