Can a poorly fitted or low-quality office chair cause health problems?

Yes — an ill-fitting chair is a documented risk factor for lower back pain, sciatica, neck tension, carpal tunnel syndrome, and hip joint pain. OSHA ergonomic guidelines specifically identify seating as a primary factor in musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) prevention. Poor chairs cause sustained awkward postures that load the spine and supporting tissues beyond their fatigue threshold. Most office-related MSDs develop over months or years of daily exposure, making the chair's impact easy to underestimate until symptoms appear.
