HEALTH EFFECTS OF WEARING HIGH HEELS..!!

It has become a very common practice to for
women to wear high heels, and for longer; experts
are increasingly concerned about the long-term
damage they are doing to their feet.
Recent research suggests that up to a third of
women suffer permanent problems as a result of
their prolonged wearing of 'killer heels', ranging
from hammer toes and bunions to irreversible
damage to leg tendons.
Here are some serious problems of wearing of high
heels more than 2 inch heels
• Continuous Back Pain
• Knees Damage
• Damage of Brain due to insufficient blood flow to
brain
• Damage of nerve system in legs
• Spinal code damage
According to Natalie A. Nevins (DO, an osteopathic
physician from Hollywood), when you wear high
heels - shoes with a heel two inches or higher -
your foot slides forward in your shoe, forcing the
toes into the unnatural shape of the shoe and
redistributing your weight incorrectly. The increased
weight on your toes causes your body to tilt
forward, and to compensate, you lean backwards
and overarch your back, creating a posture that can
strain your knees, hips, and lower back. "The
change to the position of your spine puts pressure
on nerves in the back and can cause sciatica, a
condition where nerves become trapped, triggering
pain and numbness as far down as the feet," Dr.
Nevins adds.
