Are high heels good or bad for your back?

Ever hear beauty always comes at a price? Wearing heels too often can lead to low back pain and tightness in leg muscles.  While they can look great and make a woman feel confident, they could leave you feeling uncomfortable. 
The muscles from your feet to back are tightened while wearing heels. Plantar fascia being one of the main ligaments in our foot forms the arch of foot sole. The ligament is then connected to our calf muscles which are linked to our hamstrings. The lower pelvis and back are connected to our hamstrings. When we choose to wear heels daily it causes a constant strain to our lower back. 
You walk on the balls of your feet when wearing heels. Our body weight and center of gravity is pushed forward when we are standing on the balls of our feet. The body must compensate for this shift which causes an arch or our bodies to lean back to maintain balance. When the back is arched for long periods of time it can develop pain in the area. 
So how can you have the best of both worlds?  Daily stretching and routine chiropractic visits.  When you visit a chiropractor, they make sure your body is aligned.  From your head to your feet!
