This[0] was an enlightening article when it comes to selecting a chair for everyday use.

Whats more important is that you need to go to your general practitioner and get checked up on what is really bothering your back rather than making assumptions.

Secondly go to a experienced physiotherapist,(only if your general practitioner has said you should go to one)she/he will figure out what is wrong with your back.

Lastly, make health your number one priority, if your body is not 100% you won't be able to be as productive as you want to be. Simply perform exercise and eat nutritious food, it should help.

Appreciate the info, will give the article a read. I guess you are right, better see my doctor, he did tell me once I should see a physiotherapist due to my back. Maybe now is a better time than ever.

Thanks!

That is an excellent article, but is now 6 years old. The market for ergonomic work chairs doesn't change quickly, but it isn't glacial either.

Take a look (and more importantly, try out) more recent offerings from Humanscale, Herman-Miller, Steelcase, and the like as well as the ones in the article.
