Why do I feel back pain when wearing high heels?

Part 1

In many occasions, high heels are an irreplaceable fashion item and a rare beauty tool. However, they may also be indispensable... a vase!

To some extent, our ladies in high heels are the vases in the shoe world, and no one dares to claim to be first if they are second.

Although high heels are beautiful, you should not wear them for a long time, otherwise you will get sick.

Part 2

Under normal circumstances, the weight of the whole body is borne by the entire foot, but when wearing high heels, the forefoot will bear most of the body's force.

This walking posture can easily cause the forefoot to become wider and the big toes to be turned outward, leading to the stretching of the arch bridge tendons on the sole of the foot.

Over time, the tendons become increasingly loose, the arch of the foot collapses or even disappears, and eventually flat feet develop.

Flat feet refers to a condition in which the patient's arch collapses, with a noticeable difference when standing. Most flat feet can be corrected, but severe cases can cause loss of arch height, abduction of the forefoot, and gradual eversion of the hindfoot.

Part 3

On the other hand, the space in the front of high heels is narrow, which can easily cause the toenails to be strongly squeezed by external forces.

Over time, the toenails will dig into the flesh and eventually become infected by bacteria, causing paronychia. The longer you wear high heels, the greater your risk of paronychia.

Part 4

When we walk normally, it is the result of the combined efforts of the feet, knees, leg muscles and other parts.

Wearing high heels will change the function of the ankle joint of the foot, causing the hip and knee joints to bear more force to maintain a stable gait.

If this continues for a long time, the wear and tear of the knee joint will increase, eventually inducing knee arthritis.

Part.5

When wearing high heels, we rely primarily on our toes to move forward to maintain balance. This increases tension in the calf muscles and shortens the tendons in the legs, which can damage the ankles.

The ankle is very important for maintaining the balance of the human body. When the stability function of the ankle joint is reduced, the probability of ankle sprain will inevitably increase.

After wearing high heels, the center of gravity is forced to move from the hips to the waist when walking, and the lumbar spine is in a tense state. The longer the time, the greater the damage to the waist muscles and lumbar spine. In the end, it develops into a herniated disc!

Let me see, who said that you have a bad back at such a young age.

Part 6

It can be seen that the "vase" high heels are indeed good-looking but not practical to some extent.

But don't worry too much. In this age where appearance is everything, there are always ways to prevent the harm caused by "vase".

The fundamental harm of high heels is that they can cause our walking posture to be deformed.

If we walk in high heels, the heels should land first, followed by the forefoot and toes. Then, when the center of gravity of the body falls on the forefoot, move the body forward and take the next step, which can reduce the harm caused by high heels.

If you find this movement difficult, choosing suitable high heels, soaking your feet in bath salts every day, etc., can also alleviate the discomfort caused by wearing high heels to a certain extent.
