Wearing high heels may feel empowering, but they impact your body in ways you may not expect.
High heels shift your body's balance, leading to unnatural posture and increased spinal stress.
High heels make your hip flexors and knee muscles work overtime, changing your natural stride.
The lumbar spine flattens, and the mid-back curves excessively, causing chronic discomfort.
High heels increase knee torque and compression, accelerating wear-and-tear arthritis.
Prolonged heel use can cause the Achilles tendon to tighten, leading to inflammation and pain.
Increased forefoot pressure leads to painful conditions like bunions and plantar fasciitis.
Tight toe boxes cause friction and pressure, resulting in corns, calluses, and painful blisters.
