Importance of Medical Cushions and Their Types

We certainly have a very high chance of developing back or neck pain at some point in our lives. Numerous factors may have led to this, but whatever the case, you should try to make it as comfortable as you can when you find yourself in this circumstance. Medical cushions would be able to relieve tension on the underlying muscles and nerves, thereby reducing discomfort. Additionally, by assisting the head and neck, they can aid in the prevention of shoulder pain and can help those with medical illnesses sleep better and experience less pain.

For support and to avoid pain, the appropriate pillow selection is crucial. When determining your choice, there are a couple of factors to keep in mind. Examine the pillow’s design components first. Ergonomic pillows frequently contain memory foam or latex because they offer good support and adapt to the contours of your head and neck. Second, think about the pillow’s suppleness. Too soft of a cushion won’t offer enough support, while too hard of a pillow could be bothersome. Lastly, pick a pillow that is the right size and shape for you.

The medical cushions listed below can help you determine which one is ideal for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minor Miracle?

Crossposted to all 3 items. Well, here’s a story of a minor miracle. I drove across the country — nearly 3000 miles in 4 days. By the end of it, I had a pinched nerve which caused constant pain, especially while driving the car, and excruciating when getting out of the car — shooting pains all up and down my left leg. Since I live in a rural area where nothing is in walking distance, this was putting a serious crimp in my life — I’d grit my teeth and venture out to get essential groceries, but otherwise I was pretty much housebound.

I bought the ERGO21 Lumbar Support Cushion for the back and the Sports Cushion for the seat, and the incredibly responsive owner of the company, Steve Gambhir, also sent me the Lumbar Roll, which came 2 days after the rest. The two cushions immediately alleviated the pain of driving — I could now drive comfortably, though getting out of the car was still punishing. When the Lumbar Roll arrived I stuck it behind the back cushion and drove a half hour for an appointment, and (cue the trumpets and choir of angels) no more pain getting out of the car. I’m mobile again! The ERGO21 didn’t cure my pinched nerve, but it made it possible for me to get out and about without pain for the first time in a month. Hallelujah, I have seen the light!

Pelvic Cushions

The spine of the user will be in a healthy, stable place when using these medical cushions for sitting. Utilizing this cushion guarantees that your pelvis lies above your knees, reducing unusual strains on your lumbar region and calming your spine.

So, now that you have understood the advantages of each type of medical cushion, explore your options and choose the one that best suits your requirements.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend the Coccyx version because it eliminates

I recently bought the ERGO21 LiquiCell Coccyx Seat Cushion to help with the hip and tail bone pain I was experiencing while seated many hours before my computer. Let me tell you, I’ve tried lots of solutions including 6″ thick dense foam sofa cushions, and the cheap gel cushions sold on TV. Nothing works as well for me as this new water based cushion. Foam packs down, but you can’t compress water. And what a difference it makes! I’m ordering another one for my truck seat. I recommend the Coccyx version because it eliminates, “tail bone” soreness while sitting down for long periods of time. Forget the cheap solutions. I’ve tried them all and wasted my money. I highly recommend this ERGO21 god-send. I’m so satisfied, that writing a long positive review is no trouble at all. Hope this review helps you, all the best. Rob O.
