In the street, you can see many mature women wearing high heels, why high heels can make women favor? It turns out that wearing high heels can make the back of the foot arch and look small, thigh and calf muscles tense and long, the center of gravity shifts forward so that the chest, abdomen and hips are tightened and high, so that the pace of the body more beautiful. However, the beauty is based on the morbid state, is to pay the health as the price. Foot pain is the most typical discomfort and early symptom of wearing high heels, and is easily recognized by the public. However, wearing high heels for a long time causes joint and lumbar spine lesions, and these potential hazards are far from being recognized by those who wear high heels, which seriously affects women’s health. When standing and walking in high heels, the weight will be concentrated on the 1st to 3rd metatarsal heads of the forefoot, and these toes will be squeezed by the toe of the shoe, resulting in corns, and neuromas will be formed between the metatarsals, resulting in stubborn and recurrent pain symptoms. Wearing high-heeled shoes for a long time can also lead to the formation of flat feet due to muscle weakness in the feet; the squeezing of the toe can cause or aggravate the deformity of the cam cams, leading to a series of disorders such as camsitis and hammer toe. 2, the danger to the ankle and knee joints When walking in high heels, the knee and ankle joints are affected and unevenly stressed, making them more prone to ankle sprains than flat shoes; the load pressure on the knee joint increases significantly, making degenerative osteoarthropathy occur earlier. 3, the harm to the lumbar spine In fact, wearing high-heeled shoes on the lumbar spine damage is more serious, because the development of this damage occurs more slowly, more easily ignored by people. The human spine has four physiological curves: cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral. The normal physiological curves rely on multiple structures such as vertebrae, intervertebral discs, small joints, ligaments and muscles, which play important physiological roles such as balance, stability and shock cushioning. The overall balance of the spine, from the standing position side view, the line of gravity from the center of the neck 7 through the front of the chest 8, the back of the waist 3, through any cause of the overall imbalance, will cause back pain. When a woman wears high heels, her pelvis will tilt forward and the line of gravity will shift forward. In order to maintain stability, it is inevitable to take the posture of chest up, buttocks and waist backward to re-establish the balance, of course, the curves of mature women thus posture to get the best display. Behind this beauty, the entire spine begins to accelerate degenerative changes. Maintain excessive and continuous lumbar back extension, so that the lumbar muscle long-term tension contraction state and lumbar muscle strain. Increased lumbar spine bending can lead to lumbar spinal stenosis caused by folding of the ligamentum flavum at the back of the vertebrae, which may cause compression of the nerve roots. Increased lumbar spine bending will also increase the burden on the small joints, increasing the shear stress on the small joints of the lumbar spine, small joint cartilage wear and osteophytes. The tilt of the bone disc increases the load on the sacroiliac joint and sacroiliac ligament. All the above pathological changes eventually cause recurrent acute and chronic lumbar pain and irreversible damage to the spine. 4, doctor’s advice From the point of view of taking into account the needs of health and women’s beauty, it is recommended to wear high heels less often, except on specific occasions such as social and ceremonial occasions, and even more so for patients with low back pain. Adolescent women should not wear high heels. Women 15-16 years old foot bone age before maturity, prematurely wear high heels to make the foot bone iliac deformity, and even affect the pelvic stereotypes, resulting in pelvic mouth narrowing affect the delivery of adults. To buy the right high-heeled shoes to ensure that the shoes really fit comfortably; wear high-heeled shoes, you can do a soft insole in the forefoot or heel and other pressure to reduce the pressure on the bottom of the foot; high-heeled shoes should not be too high heel height, preferably not more than 4 cm. The heel should not be too small, otherwise it will not be able to stabilize the weight support, and the toe should be slightly loose, reducing the extrusion of the palm and toes. High heels should not be worn every day, you can prepare a pair of comfortable flat shoes in the office, alternating with high-heeled shoes to reduce local fatigue. Soak your feet in warm water for 5 minutes at night to improve blood circulation in the feet. Usually strengthen the ankle strengthening exercise, joint sprains should be promptly treated in hospital.
