Did you know carrying a wallet or similar item in your back pocket might be contributing to your back pain?

Keeping something in your back pocket for months can put pressure on your back. While sitting it acts as a fulcrum and causes the back to shift into an unnatural position causing pain. Get the items out of your pocket and you just might feel better.

If the pain persists or you are having problems with your back (neck, thoracic, lower) make an appointment to see a physician in our office.
