Is it worth it if you are slowly killing your backbones? Wearing high heels regularly changes your posture and can have an effect on your joints, as well as your muscles. Here are three joints that are affected by wearing high heels.
There are 3 joints that affected when you are a sky scrapper heels lover. These joints are The Metatarsal Joint, The Knees and Joints of the Spine.
- The Metatarsal Joint - The metatarsal joint is located in the ball of your foot. Wearing high heels regularly can cause pain in this joint, a condition known as metatarsalgia.
- The Knees - High heels are well known for causing knee pain and can even lead to osteoarthritis in the knee.
- Joints of the Spine - The normal s-curve shape of the back acts as a shock absorber, reducing reduce stress on the vertebrae. Wearing high heels causes lumbar (low-back) spine flattening and a posterior (backward) displacement of the head and thoracic (mid-back) spine. High heel shoes cause you to lean forward and the body's response to that is to decrease the forward curve of your lower back to help keep you in line. Poor alignment may lead to muscle overuse and back pain.
