Wearing unsuitable shoes can cause stress shown as back pain. Shoes are meant to be cushions, the foundations and the levers used to sand, walk, and run. The wearing of correctly fitted shoes will give a healthy posture. Feet can be the number one cause of back pain. The first thing to hit the ground when standing or walking is the heel. The heel hits the surface, the other parts of the foot follow, causing the weight of the body and stress, to pass onto other parts from the foot.

Poor posture will cause back pain, but actions taken on this matter are usually inappropriate.  Consider,

• Wearing of high-heels will pull the entire weight of the body forward, corrupting the natural posture and the arches of the back. High-heels cause “Spondylolisthesis” and back pain.

• The toes, designed to provide support, narrow when high-heels are worn, affecting its joints, causing weight or pressure to the spine.

• High-heels may be fashionable but their effective cost on health is too high.

• Supported shoes are an alternative fitting comfortably and not damaging the ligaments and tendons, nerves and muscles.

Shoes that support the spine reduce the chances of experiencing back pain and thus Orthotic shoes are recommended. These shoes will support not only the feet but the weight-bearing joints and muscles too. They are proven successes in reducing dysfunctions emerging from the neurological system. They also reduce injuries and eliminate pain from abnormal conditions.

A diagnosis of posture conditions, osteoporosis, or gait, will benefit from Orthotic shoes.  The wearing of two or more insoles from Dr. Scholl or similar, and fitting them into your shoes and achieving balance, promote a healthy spine and lowers back pain.

Stretch workouts may also be performed and the practicing of leaning, sitting and lifting methods to correct your past actions will reduce back pain.

• A misaligned spine can lead to back pain.

Misalignment of the spine can occur when lifting incorrectly, wearing unsuitable shoes, and incorrectly leaning, or sitting in position. These can be corrected by studying your condition, and followed by action to relieve back pain.

• Proper lifting must start at the thighs and buttocks. Lifting by relying on the back to hold the weight will cause back pain.

Lifting if heavy objects must be done from up close and avoidance of bent knees and expending the body perpendicularly.

Consider lifting an object that weighs 20-pounds, maybe your brief case, unless you have been restricted to lifting. Before you get into the correct position and use your muscles, you total weight would be more than 200 pounds. Be close to the object for lifting and move the upper body or torso into the correct position by placing it above your feet. The position must be maintained until the lift is completed and thus is back pain avoided.
