For patients who suffer from
occasional back pain or discomfort, as well as those undergoing treatment for
chronic back pain, there is a simple and effective solution to ensure comfort
and stability while sitting for long periods.
Prolonged sitting can cause pain and further damage for patients
experiencing subluxations, low back pain, and tailbone bruises or
fractures. One of the best tools
available at our NYC physical rehabilitation and chiropractic facility is the
Relaxo Bak™ cushion, also known as a “tush-cush”, which is a specially designed
seat cushion that relieves pressure and provides comfort.
The tush-cush works by removing
pressure from the tailbone (the end point of the spine), which is placed under
extreme tension by the force created by continuous sitting, causing discomfort
and pain that can extend to the rest of the spine. The tush-cush’s design also creates a
comfortable angle that allows for proper blood circulation and nerve signal
transmission to the legs, reducing the incidence of cramps, numbness in the
buttocks, legs, and feet, as well as pain in the lower back and hips.
In the case of bruising or a fracture
to the tailbone, the tush-cush is a more effective healing aid that the
traditional “doughnut” cushion because it provides support to the entire spine
while keeping the tailbone off the chair.
Because of its light weight and built-in carrying strap, it is easy to
take anywhere you might be sitting for extended periods of time, such as the
office, concerts, sports games, airplanes, etc.
Relaxo Bak™ cushions also feature a
removable case for easy cleaning and maintenance and are safe for use by patients
of any age. To order a tush-cush and
