Step Into Wellness: The Sole Connection Between Foot Care and Spine Health

"I want to talk about one of the ways proper foot care is important to your overall spine health. When you have low arches, high arches, toe in or toe out this effects the way you walk and distribute your weight. When we walk or stand for upwards of 8+ hours a day seven days a week for so many years this repetitive motion effects your spinal health. If you think of walking and how the feet are connected to your legs, hips and back it’s important to have the appropriate foot support. This is why at the office I only wear shoes that help give me that support. I had a scan done at Fleet Feet which showed me what areas I needed more support in. The specialist brought me out a few shoe and insert options that would support those findings. Since then frequent adjustments and proper foot wear have alleviated the pain in my knees and low back as well as improving my gait."
