Shoes And Hip Pain: The Connection You Need To Know
"Your feet play a crucial role in the alignment of your entire body. Wearing shoes that do not provide proper support can lead to problems in your hips and other areas of your body. This is because when your feet are not properly supported, your body compensates by shifting its weight and altering your gait, which can cause pain and tension in your hips."
"High heels can cause your hips to tilt forward and put extra pressure on the joints. This can lead to pain and inflammation in the hips, as well as other areas of the body such as the lower back and knees. Another type of shoe that can contribute to hip pain is flats. Flats may not provide enough arch support, which can cause your foot to roll inward and lead to problems in your hips and other areas of your body."
Feet determine whole-body alignment, and inadequate shoe support can force compensatory weight shifts and gait changes that produce hip pain and tension. High heels tilt the hips forward and increase joint pressure, causing hip pain, inflammation, and stress to the lower back and knees. Flats often lack sufficient arch support, allowing the foot to roll inward and creating hip and related joint problems. Preventive steps include wearing properly fitting shoes with adequate support, choosing lower heels or arch-supportive footwear, taking breaks from unsupportive shoes, and alternating with supportive sneakers. A podiatrist can evaluate hip pain and recommend personalized footwear and treatments.
