The anatomy of sitting and how it can cause headaches, shoulder, back and neck pain.
Orthopedic chairs are specialised seating solutions designed to offer essential support, comfort, and relief to individuals experiencing orthopedic conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, or other physical challenges. Frequently prescribed or endorsed by healthcare professionals, these chairs endeavor to mitigate lower back pain, encourage proper posture, and enhance overall comfort for those managing a range of orthopedic issues.
Orthopedic office chairs are designed to provide support and comfort for anyone with existing musculoskeletal disorders.
Typical examples include chronic lower back pain, coccyx pain, sciatica, arthritis, and other conditions that require the specialised support and adjustability only available on an orthopedic chair.
Orthopedic chairs incorporate all essential design features of ergonomic office chairs, with both categories facilitating dynamic sitting. Typically, ergonomic chairs utilise a synchronous (synchro) mechanism, while orthopedic chairs are equipped with a Free-Float swivel mechanism.
The fundamental difference between orthopedic and ergonomic office chairs lies in the unique Free-Float Swivel Mechanism exclusive to orthopedic chairs, which provides a greater level of adjustability for your seating position.
Do you need an Ergonomic or Orthopedic Office Chair?
Before deciding on an ergonomic or orthopedic office chair, the first question you need to answer is whether or not you have any medical preconditions, specifically musculoskeletal issues of the spine. If so, then an orthopedic chair will probably be the better option. If not, then either chair type will be suitable.
Most office chairs are designed with the “average” user in mind, aiming to accommodate the needs of the majority rather than every individual. For instance, a short person might find that a standard chair height is excessive, and the armrests too wide apart. Conversely, a tall person may require a seat that is deeper and a higher backrest for optimal support. The 5 consequences of sitting on the wrong chair.
Investing in a well-designed office chair can considerably enhance your comfort and productivity while minimising the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Understanding the differences between ergonomic and orthopedic chairs will enable you to make an informed choice and select the chair that best suits your needs.
Remember:
Ergonomic and orthopedic office chairs are designed for the “average” person. There is no, and will never be, a one-size-fits-all.
