Why Your Wallet Might Be the Reason Your Back Hurts

The Surprising Reason Your Back Might Be Sore

Lower back pain isn’t always about your mattress or office chair; sometimes, it’s your wallet. Carrying a thick wallet in your back pocket can cause uneven sitting, spinal misalignment, and long-term discomfort. This is called "wallet neuropathy" or even "fat wallet syndrome" by chiropractors.

What Happens When You Sit on a Bulky Wallet

When you sit with a thick wallet in your back pocket, your hips tilt unevenly, causing pressure on the sciatic nerve. Over time, this can lead to:

Lower back pain
Hip pain
Numbness or tingling in your legs
Poor posture
