10 Ways to Ease Back Pain

Switch Shoes

Wearing shoes that do not offer support or fit your feet would lead to muscle strains in many parts of the body, including neck, legs, and back. For instance, high heels would throw off the alignment of your body, resulting in lower back pain. Indeed, many studies have shown a direct association between experiencing back pain and wearing high heels in extended periods. Wearing very flat shoes could also bring added strain to your back and feet. For these reasons, it is better to switch to more fitting and supportive shoes. Ask your foot specialist or podiatrist for help if necessary. [3]
