Your feet may be the culprit of many ailments
Problems with your feet can affect your entire body , from your legs to your knees , your hips , and even your back .
The entire human body is connected , which is why one affliction can easily affect a seemingly unrelated part of the body .
Oftentimes , pain and discomfort don ’ t directly relate to flat feet , but rather to how flat feet affect your gait ( the way you walk ). Some people have one leg that ’ s shorter than the other , which would affect their gait , and affect their feet and spine . This can then affect their ribs , internal organ locations , and how their bones are structured all over their bodies .
The way you walk is dependent upon the shape of your feet and the shoes you wear . These factors can affect your entire body over the years . For example , if you wear unsupportive high heels every day , your feet become susceptible to hammertoes , bunions , calluses , and corns . The rest of your body may develop joint problems , back problems , stiffness , fatigue , and strain .
Wearing supportive shoes distributes weight evenly when you land and encourages a stable gait . People with flat feet often walk on the sides of their feet or have balance issues , so it ’ s essential to wear supportive shoes .
Have you ever noticed that if one of your toes hurts , you avoid hurting it more with each step you take , by limping or walking differently on that foot ? Usually , this is temporary , and may even be subconsciously , but for someone with a foot deformity , this adjustment in gait can be permanent .
This is where orthotics or custom insoles come into play , though they won ’ t solve everyone ’ s foot pain problems , they are a great place to start for relieving foot pain , leg pain , and lower back pain caused by your feet . By adjusting the position of the feet and changing the way they function during gait , pressure is redistributed and a better alignment is achieved .
