Ergonomic Chairs — Expert Answer
What should someone with scoliosis look for in an ergonomic chair?
Scoliosis creates an asymmetric spine load, so a chair with independent bilateral lumbar adjustment — where each side of the lumbar support can be set separately — is the most accommodating. Look for a contoured seat pan with enough width (19"–21") to allow slight asymmetric weight shifting throughout the day, which reduces sustained loading on the curve. Avoid chairs with a rigid single-piece backrest that forces a symmetric posture your spine can't naturally maintain. Work with a physical therapist who specializes in scoliosis for personalized chair recommendations. FindOfficeFurniture.com has a wide range of adjustable ergonomic chairs — call 888-719-4960.
