Posture issues are often caused by sitting for long hours in chairs lacking proper support. To improve posture and reduce pain, it can help to get the right kind of desk chair. Experts recommend choosing ergonomic chairs that provide lumbar support. Ideally, the chair should have a pneumatic adjustment lever so the height of the chair can be adjusted to the patient's height. It may also be beneficial to choose a chair in which the seat and chair back can be tilted if desired. To maximize comfort when sitting for long hours, patients should choose a chair that has a padded seat with soft fabric. Swivel chairs are recommended so users can reach different areas of their desks without straining. If the chair has armrests, these should be adjustable. Users should check the armrests before purchasing to ensure their forearms would not be resting on the armrests while typing.
