High heel health problems! Are they harmful?

Many fashion conscious women like high heel. But these ‘beautifying’ shoes can cause serious damage to the knees and feet.

Wearing unusually high heels makes the ankles high. Sometimes the legs bend uncontrollably. This results in abnormal pressure on the knees. The cartilage at the back of the knee joint is eroded. This can lead to osteoarthritis at an early age.

Studies have shown that low heel shoes with back straps are good for girls to keep their ankles, knees and waist straight. There may be a desire to wear heels, but you need to be a little more careful to prevent high heel health problems. Where you need to walk a little, high heels can be worn. But in everyday life, a little high or flat shoes are better for walking.

Let's take a look at the dangers of regular usage of high heels.

Health problems due to wearing high heels

Pain in the small joints of the legs

High heel shoes make the side of the foot numb while walking. As a result, the legs can only be kept straight. So during walking, all the pressure falls on your knees. Problems with pain and arthritis in the small joints of the feet begin. However, due to heels, not only the knees, but also the ankles are under extra pressure.

Problems in leg muscle

If you use heel shoes for a long time, the ankle becomes much higher. As a result, the muscles that are attached to the ankle through tendons become smaller and the muscles begin to change. This can lead to Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendonitis.

Back pain

High heel shoes keep your ankles high and push your waist abnormally forward. Walking in such an abnormal posture for a long time, can lead to loss of normal curvature of the spine and severe pain in the lower back.

Problems in Foot

When wearing high heels, the soles of the feet carry the weight of the whole body, and the ankles are only helpful. As a result, this pad-like fleshy part is gradually removed or eroded from the soles of the feet.

Problems in Ankle

Wearing high heels disturbs the balance of the feet and ankles, as well as the weight of the whole body falls on the ankle joints. As a result, the risk of spraining the ankle increases.
