New Survey Reveals 7 in 10 Doctors Agree That Reclining Can
Decrease Back Pain MONROE, Mich., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Here's
some news that 80 percent of the U.S. population should take
sitting down. According to a nationwide survey*, a majority (68
percent) of primary care physicians say they are likely to
recommend that a patient sit in a reclined position to help
alleviate back pain - a suggestion that should come as welcome news
to the 8 out of every 10 Americans who will suffer from back pain
at some point in their lives**. "We hear a lot about the importance
of exercise and stretching muscles to relieve back pain but the
fact is that resting those muscles properly is just as important,"
says Dr. Dave David, a board-certified physician who has been
practicing medicine for more than 30 years. "Sitting in a reclined
position provides full body support - from the upper back down to
your legs - which relaxes surrounding muscles, ultimately taking
tension away from the pain-ridden area." According to the survey of
primary care physicians from across the U.S., 80 percent of doctors
prefer patients to sit in a reclined position with legs elevated up
high and the back partially or fully reclined. Dr. David agrees
that this position provides the appropriate lumbar support and
pressure needed to help alleviate pain in back muscles, especially
those in the lumbar area that are used for stability and are a
vital part of the body's core. "Any type of pain stemming from the
spinal area will have a significant impact on the body's overall
feeling and function," explains Dr. David. "Even a few minutes
resting in a properly reclined position can make a huge
difference." The survey also uncovered that the types of back pain
doctors feel can be most alleviated by sitting in a reclining
position include muscle strain (77 percent), degenerative changes
(61 percent) and pregnancy associated back pain (60 percent). For
maximum relief, Dr. David recommends relaxing in reclining
furniture that offers total body and lumbar support as well as
varying degrees of reclining, since every person has unique support
needs. This is great news for the millions of fans of La-Z-Boy
reclining chairs and sofas, which offer customizable reclining
options with exclusive benefits, including: -- No added back
strain. A Patented Three-Position Legrest offers a choice of
locking positions to keep the back reclined. -- Multiple reclining
angles. A Patented Reclining Mechanism allows for 18 incremental
tilt positions to fit different comfort preferences. -- More
comfort options. An Independent Back Recline feature allows the
user to recline the back of the chair with the legrest in the
closed position. -- Total body support. A Patented Full-Layout
Recline Position means the user can kick back and stretch out for
full-body relaxation. "Over the years we've heard from many
customers that La-Z-Boy reclining chairs and sofas have helped them
relieve their back pain," said Doug Collier, chief marketing
officer for La-Z-Boy. "We are pleased to now have support from the
medical community that recognizes the genuine relief our reclining
furniture can bring." "Back pain is one of the top reasons people
visit their doctors," adds Dr. David. "My patients are always
pleased to learn that reclining is a real solution to help ease
their pain. I hope that with this new research, other sufferers can
find relief too." And, yes, doctors enjoy a taste of their own
medicine when it comes to reclining. Six in 10 of the physicians
surveyed personally own reclining furniture at home (beyond their
desk chairs). For more back pain relief tips from Dr. David or
