A member asked:
Are there any good ergonomic chairs for low back pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not necessarily: Studies are mixed with main conclusion is that it's not the chair but the tasks you perform, how long you sit, and your posture. Best is to take frequent stretch breaks, do posture checks, and get up and walk.
