Dull ache in lower back from sitting wrong in wheelchair. would a cushion help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: A cushion may help but not unless the person in the wheelchair is able to correct their posture to sit with better alignment. This may require evaluation of the current chair and recommendations for a different type of chair if necessary.
