Do you have an executive chair for a person with back pain?

This chair does have an adjustable lumbar support which can be beneficial for people with back pain. You can also adjust the angle of the back of the seat as well, giving not only the firm lumbar support where needed, but also a more free range of movement to find your true comfort zone for your back.

Not that I remember, no. I used it once and gave it to my grandson. I'm short but have a bad back and neck and I need chairs I can lay my head against and adjust. This chair just didn't do it for the lumbar or for my head and neck.

I'm a Physical Therapist working with geriatric crowd. While a front wheel walker is covered by Medicare (so far, and only one every 5 yrs) I have never seen Medicare or any insurance cover companion chairs. I can only expect things to be harder to obtain with the current Obamacare mess.

It is an O.K. chair. I sometimes sit in it to rest my back But I would not buy it for a bad back. I think it would be better to look for a more solid chair.

Helene - I wish I knew - I did not buy it but desperately need a stool on wheels for the kitchen - I have spinal stenosis and still love to cook and putter around in the kitchen - however I have a standing time of about half an hour at the very most... and it is difficult to do much in that timespan... the chair in my dentist's office looks perfect but they are SO expensive, and we are both retired and watching our pennies until we can get moved and find out all the hidden nuances in the healthcare law! If you find out, let me know! dsanfilippo303@comcast.net

No, just open it up. Nice chair , if the back was a little higher it would be perfect.

Yes. If the person has issues with a tight or sore back, it is a real boon!

Yes make certain the weight is down at your lower back. Don't try to fight it. It helps you sit up straight without thinking about it.It relieves back pain from sitting at the desk for hours.

No. I'm 220 myself, and the chair back broke on day 5. I decided to try the chair without the back: however, it's not made very well for a 150+ lb person in my opinion. I would look for an Office Furniture surplus or outlet warehouse that business and schools send their previous year or unused chairs, and pick up a solid ergonomic chair for $200-400. It will be worth it if you spend a lot of time in the chair for your work, or have a lower back issue like I do.

I bought this chair for my husband who works remotely from time to time and he loves it. He said it is very comfortable on his back and the seat cushion is comfy as well. You can lower and raise the chair height and it also has a lever where you can tilt in three different vertical positions. My husband also likes the head rest where he can sit back and rest his head for awhile. Overall, this is a pretty good chair for the price. I would purchase another one.

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

Yes, I would. It is very comfortable. I have a very bad back and hips. Sciatica and Fibro. I can sit in this chair and not hurt as bad.

Yes, you can. That's how I use it. Use a straight backed chair and go to work!

I love the chair. Helps my sore back. I would like to find a new set pad for mine. Would recommend it to anyone.

A patient with normal strength in the arms should be able to move with this chair independently. The back wheels are designed for this purpose b
