What does Orthopedics mean?
What kind of Cushion will help this condition?
Doctors in this field of medicine – Orthopedic – help and diagnose people who have conditions affecting the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves and the musculoskeletal system.
HOW CAN A CUSHION HELP WITH THIS ORTHOPEDIC MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITION?
Choosing the Right Orthopedic Seat Cushion and Lumbar Support for Tailbone Pain, Sciatica, spine alignment and neck support.
Before we look for a device or a cushion that can be an aid for this condition, lets look at the how a person ends up at an Orthopedic Center
Some of the conditions that manifest because of these conditions related to muscular disorder are:
Hips – Hip replacements are in epidemic proportions today. Sitting is the main culprit!
Back & Neck Pain – The cause mostly comes down to the fact that one’s spine is out of alignment.
Elbow and Wrist Pain – Due to the fact that the shoulder joints and hip joints are not working properly.
Knees Hurting – It’s always the hip joint that is causing the problem most of the times.
Foot & Ankle Condition: Almost always due to what is happening above. Misalignment of the head, shoulders, hip and knees.
Four Ultra – thin cells are hand stitched and strategically placed on top of High Resilience foam to reduce vertical pressure on the sitting bones and thighs.

ERGO21 Seat Cushions to the Rescue
Sitting for long periods of time in this electronic age, what with our desktops, laptops, tablets, driving and leaning over the steering wheels where we lean over one side not to mention sitting on the couch where there is hardly any way to support the body in an aligned position are all culprits that make us seek an Orthopedic doctor or in worse cases surgeons.
Did you know that most of the patients who get a hip replacement will eventually need another hip replacement or knee or shoulder or neck symptoms flaring up making one’s life not so good!
ERGO21 Seat cushions with LiquiCell Technology – four thin liquid -filled membranes strategically placed over high density foam that does not sink, act as a barrier. LiquiCell technology protects skin tissues form being stretched and torn. What this means to you is instant comfort, reduction and elimination of numbness, fidgeting and tail burn.

Also, look for our Ergo21 Lumbar (back) Cushion. It keeps the circulation going along the spine without the annoying hump/bump and relieves pressure along the neck, shoulder,spine and hips
“It arrived just in time for our 650 mile trip & what a difference!! I’ve had hip and knee replacement and arrived at our destination feeling so much more rested. I definitely recommend these cushions — we’ve ordered a second one for the passenger seat.. “– H Carver |

Why ERGO21 Seat Cushions are the best for Orthopedic use
The word Orthopedic is from Greek origin meaning “Correct, Straight”, (breathing easily in an upright position) (an upright posture)
All the Ergo21 Seat Cushions have the 4 LiquiCell membranes that reduce the vertical pressure when one sits at the point of contact between the body and the surface. This barrier of liquid reduces hot spots which minimizes shifting. It is the shifting even though slight at the point of contact where the tissues are sore that causes to make one slouch and thus lose the correct straight posture that we just saw in the word Orthopedic.
These 4 LiquiCell membranes are then strategically placed on top of custom High Resilience Foam that does not sink and keeps the spine in the natural position reducing hip, spine, shoulder and neck pain.
Many of the users have noticed that after sitting on Ergo21 cushions they don’t have hip, neck, sciatica pain and are able to sit up straight. This has a profound effect on breathing. One is able now to breathe freely, taking in more oxygen that rejuvenates the tissue and blood. This is especially noticed in a tremendous amount when using the Ergo21 Lumbar Cushion or the roll also in a car, recliner or office chair.
Sitting on the LiquiCell cushion and then having the same LiquiCell along the back reduces pressure on the sitting bones and spine at the same time. In fact many of the users also love to use our Ergo21 Travel Cushion to sit on and another to lean on where there is not enough room for our Ergo21 Lumbar Cushion. Talk about Orthopedic-ally perfect combo.
What LiquiCell Will Do for You…
Using an innovative combination of a low viscosity fluid and strategically placed seal points that control the flow of liquid, LiquiCell reduces discomfort associated with prolonged contact between the body and an object. By equalizing perpendicular pressure at the point of contact (thus reducing pressure), soft tissue compression is greatly reduced thereby significantly reducing skin friction and soft tissue shear stress.
Medical and scientific evidence prove that while gel, foams and air do provide some relief of discomfort through perpendicular pressure reduction, they do not protect against the harmful effects of friction and shear stress, two of the most influential factors related to discomfort, pain and trauma (pressure sores)
Ergo21 Cushions are now available in assorted sizes and shapes to accommodate all body types and seating situations.
Please note all our cushions can also be used in an office chair, home, patio, car, trucks, planes.
Also, check out our Ergo21 Travel Cushion to bring along everywhere!

Making of a Perfect Seat Cushion

Ergo21 Cushions – Changing lives
5.0 out of 5 stars Pain Relief By R. Schlax Size: Large -18″ x 17″ x 2″|Verified Purchase
This cushion was the answer for my lift chair, as we removed the foam piece & used another cushion which did not relieve pain. This innovative design fit perfectly in chair with real comfort. Was also able to use it in my power wheelchair for a 5 hour visit to doctor’s office. Have recommended it to family & friends, most in my age group with similar challenges.
What Wheelchair users are saying about Ergo21 Seat Cushions
5.0 out of 5 stars thought that was the best there was By George Albright Size: Large -18″ x 17″ x 2.5″|Verified Purchase
I was skeptical, to say the least. I am a leg amputee and spend most of my day in a wheel chair or a car seat or maybe an office chair. For more than six years I have used a Roho 4 inch air cushion. I thought that was the best there was.
Even though it served me well, it continually got leaks somewhere in the air chambers. Patches don’t work but I finally discovered that a product called shoe goo would work. I had to get into the bathtub to find the leak, mark it, then dry the cushion and put a dab of shoe goo over the tiny hole wait usually overnight and all would be well for a while. I had purchased new cushion covers for about 55 dollars.
When I ran across an ad for the ERGO21 cushion, I read all the reviews and decided I would try the Sport cushion 2 1/2 inch as my first choice. I received it promptly. and put in on my wheel chair. After a couple of days, I began to wonder if it was really as comfortable as my air cushion, so I switched back. after a few hours on the air cushion, I thought NO, The ERGO21 was just as comfortable if not more so. I was pretty excited because a new Roho would cost around 400 dollars.
And would still have a very thin cover which would have to be replaced on a regular basis. While talking with Steve on the phone about his products I find a man who is passionate about solving any customer concerns to their satisfaction. I have never in my 83 years talked to anyone who cares as much about customer satisfaction as this man.
I have since used several different cushions by this company and find them all to be of exceptional quality and value. I am currently using his foot inserts, and his pillow cases, which I will review on another post.
5.0 out of 5 stars this cushion she finds without a doubt is the most comfortable, energizing cushion being marketed today By Don Douvilleon Size: Large -18″ x 17″ x 2″
I purchased this cushion for my wife who is confined to a wheelchair, this cushion she finds without a doubt is the most comfortable, energizing cushion being marketed today. Of note is the relief from pain and soreness that accompanies someone sitting for most of each day in a wheelchair. I subsequently bought an original cushion for my car and I love it.

***** Works as advertised – Ergo21 Seat Cushion
First one of the best companies I have dealt with for customer satisfaction. The designer spoke with me personally to help me find the cushions that would work best for my situation. I have had three back surgeries and both hips rebuilt. Sitting comfortably is not an easy activity. I am 56 years old, female, tall with a healthy weight and some arthritis. I now own three of these cushions. The original is perfect for hard wood or folding metal chairs. I use it when going to weekly quilting groups on the folding chairs. Before using this cushion I was limited in the time I could spend with the group due to the folding chairs and resulting pain. Now, no problem. The angled front that gives a narrower profile and is amazingly helpful with the cushion’s effectiveness.
The Ergo21 lumbar cushion stays in the car. Do not be dismayed by the shape. You will not see a convex area for your lumbar area as with most cushions, and I was skeptical when I saw the shape. That is until I tried it in my truck. Most comfortable and effective lumbar support in a vehicle I have used. The gel cushions inside mold to where your lumbar section is on your back. Because of that the lumbar support is not to high/low, too much arch or too little. Plus, it decreases the vibration from the road to your lower back. I have used it going 30 hours to Texas and back. Good road test.
The Ergo21 travel cushion I use for plane flights. The vibration plus hard seats made flying an endurance test. Sitting on the travel cushion made a major difference. No, my legs still hit the seat in front of me but at least my behind is happier. The decrease in transferred vibration to my hips and lower back was impressive. Plus, the folding feature makes it easy to tuck into a carry on and use on the airport seats when your flight is delayed, again. Visit their website. It really helps to understand the construction of this product.
5.0 out of 5 stars ***** Helps Arthritis – Ergo21 Lumbar Cushion
I’ve used the cushion now for several months and find that it helps my arthritis. I stiffen-up after sitting awhile but if I use the cushion it is much less and more comfortable too. Very happy with purchase.

*****Need a cushion to help sit? Ergo21 is the cushion to get! Highly recommended |Verified Purchase
My name is Candace and my son, Jeremy, purchased an Ergo21 LiquiCell Sports Cushion for me. I have used it at home and on planes and it was very, very helpful for my arthritic bones. The cushion was a little high for me for plane seats and some furniture, so another cushion was purchased for me. We were treated with utmost respect and prompt help. A very helpful man named Steve helped us and I plan to always have these wonderful cushions because between fibromyalgia and bursitis in my hip and arthritis in my sacroiliac joint and in my hips, these cushions save me from the severe pain I often had before I owned the Ergo21 cushions. Order a couple of them for your home and car, would be my suggestion. I’d recommend these cushions to anyone with physical difficulties such as I have. Thanks, Ergo21!

5.0 out of 5 starsI highly recommend giving it a try – Ergo21 Sleep Mattress Overlay helps with Osteoarthritis **** Size: 34″ x 34″ x 1/8″
I have been using this sleep pad now for a couple of weeks. I have serious back and hip issues because of osteoarthritis and from the very first night, there was a measurable difference. The extreme pain and stiffness I was experiencing getting out of bed in the morning is very much improved. I look forward to
getting into bed at night, because you can feel the comfort immediately. As a bonus, it seems to promote sounder sleep. At first glance, It may seem a bit pricey but it is well worth the investment because that’s what it is, an investment in your health and comfort. I highly recommend giving it a try.. An amazing product! By Anne on Amazon
Always consult with a doctor or your nurse about your symptoms.
Ergo21 has a complete line of Cushions for all body types, weights and applications!
Final thoughts
Change positions often and spread your weight evenly. In chairs and wheelchairs shift your weight often. Certain chair exercises can keep the circulation going.
I wish us all a happy, comfortable journey cruising Planet Earth on our Magic Bus 🙂
My wife always reminds me in the morning – Every day is a gift, that’s why it is call the Present!
Here’s to great adventures! Cheers!
