Best Office Chairs for Back Problems
If you’re like most people out there, you struggle with some form of back pain due to seating problems and bad posture. The thing is, most of the sitting you do during the day takes place at your desk where it’s easy to fall into bad seating habits. Also, you may not be aware that a good chair should fit you like a good pair of shoes. It should give you support and prevent injuries while still providing comfort and style. The good news is new improvements to office chairs have made them more ‘back-friendly’ by adding features that make them more supportive and ergonomic. Below are a few new office chairs that I think would benefit anyone who deals with physical discomfort caused by their chair.
Herman Miller: Embody 
The Herman Miller Embody chair is truly revolutionary. Its designers set out to make a chair that benefits both mind and body through sophisticated engineering. The back of the chair resembles the human spine and adapts to the body’s movement while unique mesh surfaces distribute the weight evenly, increasing blood circulation and the flow of oxygen to the brain. Another great thing about this chair is that it accommodates every body style and 95% of it can be recycled. Retail Price: ~$1,800.00
Raynor/Eurotech Seating: Ergohuman 
The Ergohuman office chair by Eurotech Seating is known to be the main alternative to the Aeron. It was designed specifically for those who are in an office chair for more than five hours, and require "Intensive Use Seating" to keep them comfortable for long periods of time. Seat height adjustment, back height adjustment, height and width adjustable arms and a synchro-tilt mechanism are a few examples of the functions that come standard on the Ergohuman. Retail Price: ~$1,100.00
Herman Miller: Aeron 
The Aeron chair by Herman Miller is an industry leader in confort and design. It is probably the only chair people recognize by name. It includes PostureFit, which supports the way your pelvis tilts naturally forward, so that your spine stays aligned and you avoid back pain. It also has the Pellicle - that specially woven seat and back suspension material developed for Aeron - which conforms to your body and cradles it, keeping the pressure even across your body. The Pellicle also keeps you cooler by removing the traditional cushion and fabric. Retail Price: ~$1,100.00
Raynor/Eurotech Seating: Wau 
The best thing about the Wau by Eurotech Seating is that it has the lowest price point of all the chairs. The price may still be high, but it has every ergonomic feature you need to avoid long term back problems. The Wau's features include: Tension Control, Knee Tilt, Tilt Lock, Back Angle Adjustment, Synchro Tilt, Seat Height Adjustment, Waterfall Seat, and Arm Height Adjustment. Retail Price: ~$900.00
