Spine Wellness

 If you do not carry your wallet in a purse – most likely you carry it in your back pocket.  And for men, this is common place.  But did you know that your wallet can cause lower back pain?  There is even a syndrome for this called “hip pocket syndrome.” 

This spine wellness blog entry, will provide a few tips for carrying your wallet and avoiding lower back pain.

• Thin it out!  Ideally, make your wallet as thin as possible, only carrying necessary items.
• Remove it!  If you are going to be sitting for long periods of time; i.e. at work sitting at your desk, or in a car – remove your wallet from your back pocket.
