Can shoes cause my foot pain? When we think of footwear, we often concern ourselves with just the aesthetics of how a high heel may make us look. We think about how these shoes will make us feel taller, more confident and will dress up any outfit. However, we often neglect to think about how this will make the bones, joints, ligaments and tendons in our feet react. Putting an unnatural arch or pressure on our toes and the soles of our feet may not sound as appealing in those ...stilletos! Starting From The Bottom Studies show that nearly all American adults suffer from some sort of joint or muscle pain. Some of the most common pain is Sciatica (or lower back pain) as well as hip and cervical spine (neck) discomfort. Very few patients realize that this pain can actually originate from the shoes they choose. High heels change the way we walk and how pressures are experienced by our feet. Normal walking is for our heel to contact the ground first, toes last. The natural arch in the foot must be preserved and most shoes (from sneakers to flip flops) available in stores today do not offer this necessary support.

Did you know that the human foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 tendons and muscles? Your two feet are almost a quarter of the 206 bones in your entire body. All of these parts must be working together and properly, in a complex timed and synchronous action, or you can have pain, difficulty with movement or a loss of your range of motion. When your feet hurt, you hurt all over as the saying goes. This is true because as you avoid putting weight onto your sore f...oot or feet, your body will unconsciously and automatically change the way you shift your weight around as you walk leading to overuse and strain of other parts of your body like your ankles, knees, hips back and even up to your neck. You might avoid doing some of your favorite activities. Even doing regular household chores or going to the grocery store could prove difficult when your feet are bothering you. There is no need for you to have feet that hurt. A visit to Family Foot Center in North Queens provides you with a comprehensive evaluation of your feet. Early detection of foot problems creates an opportunity to get prompt care. #podiatrist #footcare #whitestone #queensny https://www.whitestonepodiatry.com
