The wallet syndrome
The wallet syndrome is a consequence of carrying your wallet in the back pocket of your pants, it is something that you tend to do almost innately. It is assumed that it should be kept there and that’s it. But it is time to rethink that behavior, because carrying the wallet in the back can have health consequences due to the so-called wallet syndrome, capable of unbalancing the pelvis and cause back pain.
It is also known as “piriformis syndrome” or “sciatic nerve entrapment syndrome”, since it is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve at the level of the pyramidal muscle (the gluteus).
What is wallet syndrome?
This is a condition in which, due to the use of the wallet in the back of the pants, there is an inclination in the position of the pelvis that can bring negative effects in the posture that cause from numbness of the legs to more serious consequences such as deviation of the spine. This is because the imbalance generated by the wallet causes the sciatic nerve to be compressed.
It is an exclusively male syndrome, since men have the habit of keeping their wallet in their back pants pocket while sitting on it. This produces a compression of the sciatic nerve, exerting a mechanical demand on the vertebrae, discs, ligaments and muscles of the lumbar area. In other words, the hip is bent and under pressure from the weight of the body.
Symptons

When you suffer from pain, you must understand that you do not reach this point suddenly, because this is the result of not giving importance to small signs of discomfort and of having acquired bad habits throughout your life. The Neuroft clinic helps you to correct these bad postures, returning your joints and vertebrae to their natural position.
