After having both L4–L5 ALIF and later C5–C7 ACDF, I realized my old office chair just wasn't giving me the support I needed.
Working at my desk often left me with burning neck pain, muscle spasms, and lower back fatigue. I knew it was time to make a change.
I finally upgraded to a chair with a high back, adjustable headrest, and excellent lumbar support, and I honestly wish I had done it much sooner.
If you're recovering from neck fusion, lumbar fusion, or any spine surgery, don't underestimate the importance of a supportive desk chair.
We spend so much time sitting that having proper support can make everyday activities much more comfortable.
For me, this has been one of the best investments I've made in my recovery.
