A woman’s waist is a beautiful place, but it is also an important area invaded by lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar disc herniation will have a serious impact on women's normal physiological life and greatly reduce their beauty. Studies have found that women who wear high heels for a long time are more likely to cause lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, high-heeled shoes users should prevent the invasion of lumbar disc herniation.
The nerves of the feet are almost connected to the nerves of the waist. When walking in ill-fitting shoes, the feet will tire quickly, and the neurons that control the feet in the corresponding parts of the waist will also tire, and through The spinal cord travels to the brain. From a force point of view, when a person is standing, the heel and the forefoot each support half of the weight, and the thumb assumes half of the weight of the forefoot. When walking, the thumb and second toe bear the main load-bearing task. . ?
What shoes should I wear if I have lumbar disc herniation?
High heels: Patients with lumbar disc herniation are not suitable to wear high heels. This is a recognized basic principle, so many patients choose to wear flat shoes, such as comfortable cloth shoes.
Medium-heeled shoes: Are medium-heeled shoes really beneficial? The relationship between the heel and the lumbar spine is clear. The sole has a foundation function, which directly affects the center of gravity of the body. The reason why high heels hurt the waist is because they force the center of gravity of the human body to move forward, which can easily increase the forward tilt of the pelvis and the curvature of the lumbar spine. The waist is also affected. If the force causes damage, then the heel should be lowered, while mid-heeled shoes are an intermediate stage, and the harm is only half compared with high-heeled shoes.
Some people say that mid-heeled shoes can avoid vibrations, so heels are necessary. This statement distorts the scientific concept. The vibrations that need to be avoided specifically refer to machinery that is more than dozens of times per second. Vibration, all vibration avoidance is aimed at mechanical vibration, which has nothing to do with human movement. Relevant research shows that the human reaction caused by vibration when walking or running is beneficial.
Flats: Not only are flats harmless. Many doctors also recommend that patients with lumbar disc herniation use negative-heeled shoes on a daily basis. The soles of the shoes are high in the front and low in the back. Negative-heeled shoes are generally very common in Europe and the United States. They use the foundation function of the human body to force the body's center of gravity to move backward, which is less common. The forward tilt of the spine and the curvature of the lumbar spine can be gradually corrected with consistent use, which is beneficial to recovery. It has the same principle as the backward walking exercise, which is safer and easier to adhere to. We can do a simulated experience, standing barefoot with both feet and stepping on a book with the forefoot. The 20 mm thick book makes you feel whether the lumbar spine is straighter. The negative heel shoes are not inconsistent with the existing treatment and rehabilitation methods, and are also conducive to the consolidation and improvement of the existing 3 curative effects.
In short, patients with lumbar disc herniation should be rational when choosing shoes to avoid unnecessary injuries. Fashion and health are often in opposition, and shoes and health are the most prominent.
What should you do if wearing high heels causes low back pain?
Wearing high heels for a long time will affect the balance of the lower limbs, resulting in the inability to stand and walk as desired. This will lead to a decrease in the coordination ability of the entire body and is also prone to acute waist sprains. It is recommended that patients should take off their high heels immediately. To avoid causing lumbar intervertebral disc lesions, you need to pay attention to rest and do not sleep on a hard bed. You can use local massage and physical therapy to improve symptoms.
