Should a office chair with lumbar support make my back feel werid when sitting?
I just got this office chair. http://www.staples.com/Staples-Osgood-Bonded-Leather-Managers-High-Back-Chair-Black/product_923523 While it is a nice chair the lumbar support feels weird against my back. I am 6,3 tall and I feel like the lumbar support is in the wrong place. Its going into my back a little above my hips. I am not sure if I feel like this because I may have bad posture because of how i used to sit in my old chair which didn't have lumbar support or if it is not adjusted correctly for my back. I have looked at this chair and it doesn't seem to have a way for me to adjust the lumbar support. Thanks for all your help!!!
How can I stop slouching when I sit down?
well, its not an easy task, there are manufacturers that make chairs specifically made for computer chairs that help with your posture, you can purchase them and any store that sells computer chairs (staples, office depot, office max, walmart, target, cosco, etc.). I have the same problem with slouching... I just try to make an effort as much as possible to sit up straight. I'm 22 now, and I've been slouching since I was 12 or so. Its not a bad slouch yet, but I have noticed that my back gets soar fairly quick... maybe see a chiropractor. I've also heard you could take a tennis ball, or a rolled up towel and rest it between the small of your back (lower back) and the chair, and have the top of your back resting against the chair's back support.
Why does my stomach hurt when I sit straight/stand up?
The cause is something very obvious, that something very bad is happening in your gut and this is causing the pain in your stomach when you set straight or stand up.imageNow, there may be two obvious conditions,If this pain is from a long time, then a proper diagnosis and treatment should be carried under a medical expert.If this is temporary, then i would suggest that a hospital emergency is the best place to visit, if the issue persists for more than 30 minutes.To clarify further the issue, here the conditions that are causing the symptoms.Appendicitis: If otherwise you are in good health conditions and are suffering from the mentioned conditions, it may be appendicitis. The pain, in this case, will be located around the belly button and will seem to be migrating to the right lower side of the abdomen.In case of the middle age persons suffering from the same symptoms, it may indicate a gallbladder disease. IN most of the cases it is gallbladder stones that are obstructing the bile duct and causing pain when getting stretched in setting straight or standing up position.It may be some stomach lining injury, Peptic or Intestinal Ulcer as well, that is causing pain within your abdomen. The pain, in this case, will be mainly in the condition of after eating a meal.Related:What would be the result if you drink only Water for 03 Weeks?What are Gall Bladder stones and how it should be Cured?How Dandelion and Peppermint tea will help you in your amazing fast weight loss?Sip on this natural green leafy for your extremely fast and safe weight loss.Attribution for content
Really bad lower back pain an I'm only 23.?
Ok so recently the last few months my lower back right in the middle above my butt has been getting moderate pains to the point where i have to get up a certain way for it to not hurt like getting on my knee's an then slowly up which then i have to gradually straighten my back cause i would be in pain an slouch when i walk. It also hurts when i sit for periods of time when i watch tv an stay in one position straight up. I have had minor back pain before that went away an one day at work i stepped the wrong way which 15mins later had me on the ground in tears. Then needing help with a cane i was able to walk the pain isnt as bad as that day an normally the only time it feels good is when im laying straight on my back but now even on my side or stomach has been hurting it. Which i find really weird is when i sit at a resturant i can bring my legs to a full straight position without it bothering me an the fact that when i sneeze it hurts a lot. I really do not know what it could be i do play video games but i also work construction so i know im getting time away from sitting around all day. from what im told maybe a pinched nerve. Also when i rub it the pain goes away alittle bit. Sometimes even sitting in the bathroom can be a task or doing dishes. Ive been taking it easy for the last 3 weeks just relaxing but sometimes it feels like it gets worse doing nothing i really do not wanna go to the doctors just for them to tell me its in my head or just give me pain pills i wanna be fixxed so i can get back to doing normal things without feeling like if i twist to fast my backs gonna break or something. Any help would be great thank you.
How can I keep my back straight?
Gday. I am 17 years old and I am already slouching when I walk around, but not as much as I do when I sit down. Evidently this is a problem, yes I know. It takes me a lot of effort to sit up/keep my back straight, I can sit/stand straight for about 10 seconds before I need to slouch again. Is this a serious problem? Poor back muscles? Spine problems? Please help, I would love to stand and sit tall everyday!
Is it bad if my back hurts from always sitting straight?
Before I get into the answer, I actually posted an article that mentions how yoga can cause back pain. You can read it by clicking here, and it may give you some insight before you read the rest of this post.Now, the next question I would ask, is where is the pain? Upper back/neck? Lower back?Many clients come to me and tell me that it hurts their back more when they sit up straight. So you're not alone.I know it sounds confusing, I know, but here's a possible reason why...See, when people think about good posture, what do they think of?Chest up!Back straight!Shoulders back and down!Which can all be good little "cues" for better posture, but the actual results could be much more painful than what you're hoping for.For example, I could say "chest up," and you take that to mean "arch your back"I could say "back straight," and you could take that to mean "stick your chin out"Or, "shoulders back" could be taken as "bend your arms at an odd angle to your sides"Any one of the above three cues could cause back pain.If you're putting yourself in an awkward position because you think you're improving your posture, well, it's not really improving your posture.An ideal posture looks something like this:Looking at the picture, the figure has:- ears over the shoulders, shoulders over hips, hips over knees, knees over ankles.- arms are straight down at the sides, not "cocked" back with bent elbows.- lower back is slightly arched, not flat or over-extended.That last one is the main reason why most folks (and probably yourself) are getting themselves in more pain when trying to correct their posture.So, when self-analyzing your posture, and trying to fix it, ask yourself a few questions:- Is my chin jutting out, or is my neck in line (ears over shoulders)?- Are my arms hanging relaxed at my sides, or are my shoulders rolled forward and elbows pulled back?- Is my lower back over-arched, or relatively flat?Give yourself a quick check, and let me know if it helps take some of your pain away.Hope this helps,-BradP.S. - there’s a free resource you can get that provides you with a whackload of programs to suit your needs.
