Is a balance ball chair better than an ergonomic chair for back health?

Balance ball chairs are not recommended as a primary work chair by most ergonomists — research has found they cause increased spinal compression and muscle fatigue compared to a properly fitted ergonomic chair, and the short-term core engagement doesn't offset these drawbacks over a full workday. They're best used as a 20–30 minute supplemental posture variation, not for 8 hours. A properly adjusted ergonomic chair with lumbar support consistently outperforms balance balls for sustained comfort and spinal health.
