- A nurse's recommendations - pain due to a slipped disc.
A large part of the Danish population suffers from one or more slipped discs. This can inhibit your quality of life and affect large parts of your daily routine.
In short, a slipped disc is an affliction of the small, soft "cushions" located between our spinal processes all the way down the spine. These small cushions can become worn, frayed, punctured, and prolapsed due to wear and tear and overuse, which very often causes severe pain in muscles, joints, and nerve pathways (see illustration below).
Numerous small nerve pathways run up and down the spine, and when you sustain an injury (trauma) in one specific place, it will almost always cause pain in many other places – in other words: the nerves are branched and interconnected.
When you sit for long periods, you will have the same pressure on the same areas, which can cause pain, fatigue, and tension in your back.
Unfortunately, we cannot completely avoid sitting during the day, as many of us work in front of our computers, have sedentary jobs, or are students.
As a nurse and owner of Seniorpleje, I meet many people with chronic back pain, such as slipped discs, spinal fractures, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, tailbone pain, and spinal stenosis.
My recommendation will often be for them to contact me so we can examine the individual's specific challenges and identify the situations where the pain is worst.
A good and optimal pressure-relieving or pressure-distributing seat cushion can vary greatly from person to person and may depend on the following points:
- Where is the problem/pain located?
- Does it radiate to other parts of the body?
- Are there specific places, e.g., a dining chair, that are the worst to sit on?
- How much do you weigh?
- Do you have injuries elsewhere in the body?
We have many fantastic seat cushions in our assortment, and each one has its own unique quality.
However, when it comes to injuries in and around the nerve pathways in the spine, it will almost always require an exceptionally good and shock-absorbing cushion, namely our gel cushion (also called a Honeycomb cushion).
-We can offer three different types of this gel cushion, so it fits your specific needs, whether it is to be used in a wheelchair, car, or office chair. All have the same shock-absorbing function and are made of the same lovely material. They are just designed differently.

I recommend that you take a look at these wonderful honeycomb cushions. Maybe one of them will be yours ;)
