Why does lumbar support make my back hurt?
If your lumbar support is too high, it puts pressure on the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels in that area of your back. This can cause an uncomfortable pressure point and can cut off circulation to certain muscles, leading to pain. It can also hurt your lower back, as it can twist without support.
Is too much lumbar support bad?
It's now recognised that too much lumbar support does more harm than good. People come in such a wide variety of shapes and sizes that a seat with very definite curves built into it will not suit everyone. Be wary of a seat that forces the spine into an exaggerated lordosis or forward curve.
Is lumbar support good for your back?
A lumbar back support helps promote good posture by simply filling in the gap between the lumbar spine and the seat, supporting the natural inward curve of the lower back. ... The natural tendency is to slouch and/or lean forward in the office chair.
Why is lumbar support uncomfortable?
If a lumbar support causes discomfort, it means it is set too high, too low, or too deep. A sustained lordotic sitting position decreases disc pressure and thereby disc degeneration.
