While wearing high heels may be good for your confidence, they are damaging your feet and your spine if you wear them regularly. The foot does not naturally sit in the angle that a high heel does. You may only think that heels effect the feet and legs only but not quite. These effected muscles from head to toe are connected to one another. You do not expect your feet to cause shoulder pain but think again! One slight shift in your posture for a period of time will cause the rest of the body to become off kilter. Reversing the damage can take some time but with the help of stretches, acupuncture, massage and proper footwear, you can find relief again.
