Back pain is a common issue that many people experience at some point in their lives. Several factors can contribute, like posture, injury and medical conditions. One factor that is often overlooked, however, is the shoes you wear. Some shoes and shoe inserts can decrease back pain and promote wellness. Other shoes, though, can actually cause issues. When it comes to foot pain, consulting with a medical professional is highly recommended.
How poor shoes affect your back
Your shoes play a crucial role in maintaining the posture and alignment of your body. If your shoes are worn out or fit poorly, it can negatively impact your gait, or the way you walk. This can put stress on your spine, leading to back pain. Here are some specific ways that bad shoes can cause back pain:
Overall, it is important to wear shoes that fit your feet well and provide the support you need. Sometimes, though, shoes that conform to the specific needs of your feet are difficult to find. Even well-fitting orthotic insoles can be hard to find. This is why custom orthotics, which are easily slipped into the shoes you normally wear, can help.
