The British Chiropractic Association says women, who wear skinny jeans are more likely to suffer from back pain than women who don’t wear them.

Chiropactor Rishi Loatey tells The Independent newspaper: “If they’re incredibly tight, you won’t be able to walk as you normally would. You’ve got a natural gait, or stride, that you would take, and the knee, hip and lower back all move to minimise the pressure coming up through the joints. However, if one of those areas isn’t moving as it should be, it’s going to cause more pressure elsewhere.”

Men, you don’t get off scot-free, you might be putting yourself at risk of painful testicle and bladder problems, say medical experts. The fashionable denim may look good, but it can cause urinary tract infections, bladder weakness and twisted testicles. Ouch.
