The Shocking Truth About Back Pain
Lower back pain can be caused by a number of factors. One factor is your feet. The feet and your back are connected by muscles and bones that work together. They form a "kinetic chain" to keep you moving. Foot problems, then, can lead to problems further up the chain, especially in your back. Here are some kinds of common foot problems:
- Overp-ronation—A condition that occurs when improperly supported arches of the feet flatten, causing the feet to become unstable and roll inward and down more than normal.
- Improper standing or seated posture—Poor posture strains your muscles, as they and your ligaments struggle to keep you balanced.
- The shock of walking or standing all day— As the heel strikes the ground, thousands of tiny shock waves travel up the legs to the lumbar region of the spine or lower back, where they aggravate back muscles and initiate pain.
Back Pain Relief Starts With Your Feet
Either separately or together, these factors can lead to temporary or chronic back pain. To treat back pain, people consider many options, such as heat and ice, prescription and over-the-counter pain relievers, and even surgery.
