Do you suffer from lower back pain? You’re not alone. Millions of people around the world experience lower back pain at some point in their lives. Did you know that your feet may be a contributing factor? That’s right, the way your feet function can have a big impact on the health of your spine.
What’s the relationship between feet and lower back pain?
Here’s how it works: when you walk, stand or run your feet absorb the shock of your body weight and help to distribute it evenly throughout your body. If your feet are not properly aligned or if they have any problems, such as flat feet or plantar fasciitis, this can put extra stress on your lower back and your spine could start compensating leading imbalance in your muscles and alignment of your spine.
In addition, your feet are connected to your spine by a series of muscles and tendons. If these muscles and tendons are weak or tight, it can also lead to lower back pain.
