Helpful Checklist."},"content":{"rendered":"

When I walk for more than 2 miles I can start to feel pain in my lower back. I’ve noticed that the shoes I wear can make a difference in whether I feel some or no back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some types of shoes can lead to back pain, but you may have also injured your back at some p<\/strong>oint and inflammation or nerve issues starts to cause you pain. Either way, the shoes you wear can have a huge impact on how much back pain you feel. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One pair of shoes that I now wear has a lot of foam cushioning in the sole. It has prevented me from feeling pain since I have gotten them. Along with your shoes, trying techniques for pain relief can make a large impact on how you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a chart for ideas to keep your feet healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n

Shoes To Wear and <\/strong>Avoid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cushioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I look for shoes now, I am looking for higher-quality shoes<\/strong> that have plenty of cushioning. The cushioning will have an impact on how much force is applied to the joint with each step. Ideally, a good sole will have the ability to absorb the energy from each step, reducing the impact on the joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When looking for shoes to wear for back pain do your research. Be aware that not all of these may work for your back pain. Read reviews and find out about the shoe and its characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the shoes you might consider are those that have extra thick foam, gel, air pockets, memory foam, and spring-like designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have back pain, avoid<\/strong> shoes that are stiff, have little foam cushioning, and do not absorb the impact of each step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arch Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone has a different type of foot arch<\/a> (article). In addition, each person’s weight impacts how their arches function. So, the same shoe that feels good on one person, will feel uncomfortable and provide less back pain relief with another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When walking or running your foot’s arch will support your body and distribution its weight to your heel<\/strong> and the ball<\/strong> of the foot. Arch support can help aid in pain relief by helping your feet support your body properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\n\n\n\n

Find out your arch type.<\/strong> It can be a low arch, medium arch, or high arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Get a baking pan or container and pour a shallow layer of water inside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Get cardboard or paper to fit the size of your feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Step in the pan and then on the paper in a normal standing position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Step off and look the foot mark left behind and determine your arch type.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Low arches will show most<\/strong> of your footprint, medium arches will show your footprint without inner arch<\/strong> area, and high arches will show mostly heel and ball<\/strong> areas of the foot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Low arches<\/strong> may need arch support for proper foot alignment to control pronation of your foot and reduce or prevent pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Medium arches<\/strong> are most common, and having good arch support will help cushion and absorb energy from walking or exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


    \n\n\n\n

    High arches<\/strong> will most likely need firm arch support for cushioning since your heel and the ball of your foot are getting a lot of direct impacts. (Amazon Link<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
