Eight hours' office life or even longer while sitting in an office chair can inevitably cause back pain. The main reason for the pain is the long time fixed posture which just increases pressure in our body parts like arms, back, shoulders. The fact that we slouch in the the chair can overstretch our spinal ligaments. Over time, we will suffer from even worse back pain.
Then, when we recognize the importance of ergonomic chair, we still need to know how to well adjust it to make it offer us the maximum back support or maintain proper posture when we are seated in it. It is never enough to simply update our office chairs with ergonomic ones. It is essential to know some tips about how to adjust the office chair to the proportions of the individual's body for comfort and relief of aggravation to the spine.
We need to adjust the height of our office chair by just standing in front of our ergonomic chair and adjust it till the highest point of the chair, just below our knee cap. Then just sit it on it to see whether our feet can just reach the floor. For most of the ergonomic office chairs, they offer pneumatic adjustment levers. If the height is not proper, just get out of the chair and adjust it. Repeat the adjustment until the feet are just supported by the ground. If not, the proper height of chair will cause problems in circulations and even may cause serious medical conditions.
After the height adjustment, then we need to check the width and depth of our chair. The width and depth of the chair is also very important. For different people, our body dimensions just differ. So the adjustments should be made according to whom will sit on the chair. The chair needs to be adjustable between the widths of 17 and 20 inches. Just adjust it when we sit in the chair. As for the depth of the chair, we need to ensure some inches between the back of the knees and the front edge and still make the depth enough to allow us to lean back. This adjustment also matters about comfort and if not well properly adjusted, it will also cause some circulation issues if we are seated in constrained positions.
Adjust the armrest then. Just sit upright on the chair with arms hanging loosely on each side. Try to bend the elbows at 90 degrees. Adjust the armrest till the armrest can reach the elbow’s underside. If our armrests fail to touch this level or if the armrests are higher than this level, then still we need to adjust it. The right adjustment will maximize comfort for it can take the load off shoulders and the neck.
Adjust the lower back of the seat to ensure the natural inward curve of our lumbar spine. Such adjustment can avoid back pains. We sit in it and adjust it.

Sheldon Cooper Tells U: Ways to Adjust Your Ergonomic Office Chair
Ergonomic chairs for office help to reduce the cumulative effects of sitting down for prolonged periods on the body, particularly on the back, shoulders and neck.
Bad sitting habit leads to varying degrees of pain along the spinal area, to lessened flexibility of the body, among other problems. Ergonomic office chair is designed to solve the problem. Users have to adjust the chairs correctly according to the shape and contours of their body in order to make full advantage of ergonomic chairs.
Scientific research has revealed that sitting for more than twenty minutes at a time is actually more harmful to the body than standing up because it makes the pressure of supporting the entire body distributed unevenly on the spine.
When sitting on ergonomic office chairs, your thighs should be resting comfortably on the seat pan. They should not be strained tightly downward or raised at an angle upward because they will add to the strain being put on your lower back. Raise the ergonomic office chairs you are using accordingly so that your feet are on the floor without pulling or pushing at your thighs. If your feet are dangling, use an adjustable footrest. Many heavy duty office chairs have their own footrest. Your calves should be resting comfortably against the front of your chair. The chair should be just deep enough to make this so. If the chair is too deep, then it should be adjusted by tilting the back a little or by placing a pillow, or better yet, a lumbar support cushion, on the seat.
Ergonomic office chairs are designed to accommodate different positions, so you can remain in the chair for a longer period of time without becoming uncomfortable, and they promote proper posture, which prevents the development of physical problems. Make sure that you use your ergonomic office chairs properly and adjust them to your body accordingly to make the most use of them.

Make sure that you use your ergonomic office chairs properly and adjust them to your body accordingly to make the most use of them.
Armrest is needed because it lessens the strain that sitting down puts on the neck, the shoulders and the upper back. Moreover, lack of support for the arms can also lead to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome. To address this, the armrests of the ergonomic office chairs must be adjusted so that the arms are lifted for a little bit to help ease the tension of your shoulders and neck. Also proper support for the elbows is necessary to minimize the strain on the neck and shoulders, to prevent upper back pain and to lessen the possibility of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. The adjustments that you would need to make to your adjustable armrest office chair involves making sure that they are just the right height so your hands can be placed comfortably on your workplace while maintaining your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
Slumping or slouching is the common cause of pain occurring in the lower back area. When a person slumps or slouches, the act increases the pressure on the lower back. So, when sitting on ergonomic office chairs, you should make sure that your rear is pressed against the back of the chair. The back of the chair should also be cushioned in such a way that it makes your lower back curve forward, which will then prevent you from slouching or slumping.
