High Heel Syndrome: Do You Have Enough Protection Today?

High heeled shoes, which have been tortured by women in the 3.5 century since the real formation in seventeenth Century, are the only ornaments that bind women, hurting women, and let them be genuinely convinced and unable to give up.

6cm's high-heeled shoes are the "limit" of high-heeled shoes drawn by the experts in human engineering at University of California. It is also the height that beautiful women are most inclined to choose from.

Since seventeenth Century, high-heeled shoes have plagued women in the 3.5 century. They are the only ornaments that bind women, hurt women, and let them be convinced and unable to give up.

Just a few centimeters above, which makes women more charming and more upright, reveals the protruding figure between the hands and feet; just a few centimeters of thin heels, supporting a woman's body, makes a woman look light and thin, and needs protection; just stepping on the small cushion of these centimeters, makes a woman more satisfied with her appearance in the mirror, writing a face of self-confidence and arrogance.

It allows women to better understand the pursuit of life, because their feet are hard, they can not ride public pport, but have to work hard to earn money to buy cars; it allows men to admire women, and the body's sexuality is carefully held by them, even if they are trampled on by their heels, they do not feel pain.

These factors that have conquered people for hundreds of years have made high heels constantly renovated and tortured women's feet.

The beautiful women who often wear high heels are beautiful, but the pain on their feet never stops.

When you go home at night, you will feel pain in some places, toes.

Heel tendon?

Ankle?

A lower leg?

Sole?

Or lumbar vertebrae?

We can not despise these pain. "Foot is the second heart of human beings". When it suffers from beautiful injury, we must not forget to maintain your good health and let us start healthy everyday on 6cm.

If there is one thing that makes you love and hate, want to discard and welcome, the power of the two contradictions between you and yourself will be deadlocked.

Recently, a survey of high-heeled shoes for 670 career women has been conducted. According to the results, women can see that the high heel shoes are the kind of contradictory love that makes you feel pain and make you uncomfortable, but you can't resist refusing.

Every woman who knows how to love herself is better able to endure the pain and pain. She learns to spend energy to soothe the pain, "pain in her left hand and care in her right hand". She thinks of "two hands grasping, both hands must be hard". In the gap between acceptance and rejection, high heels continue to help women wag their faces.

Human beings have been standing upright for many years, and have weighed their weight and the earth's gravity on their feet.

According to the Research Report of the American foot medicine association, a normal person takes about 8000 steps a day on average. When walking, the foot pressure is about 3~4 of the weight.

If you wear high-heeled shoes, the body's center of gravity moves forward, almost the pressure is pferred to the front foot, while the bent foot, squeezed in the narrow space toe, carefully supporting the weight and balance of women, each step is hidden by the pressure of pain and fall risk.

High heels, such a high torment, make women willingly cover up with smiles and confidence, and the beauty hidden in shoes is experiencing such pain.

High pain

Shoes are too small.

Symptoms: Blister, thick cocoon, corns.

If your high-heeled shoes are a little bit rubbed and your shoes and skin rub against each other, you will grow blisters for half an hour.

If you endure for a few hours, it will be easy to grow cocoons and corns.

Callus is a medical term for callus. It is due to repeated extrusion and friction of the skin.

The corns are caused by squeezing the skin of the feet, reducing the resistance of the epidermis, invading the subcutaneous and constantly proliferating and forming conical horns. The nucleus of the keratinocyte penetrates into the skin to compress nerves, or there is a bursa on the tip of the cuticle, which causes bursitis, which can cause pain when it is crushed.

Symptoms: ingrown nail, parotitis, hallux valgus, hammer toe, claw toe.

Ingrown nail is a condition that most people have, that is toenail.

If the toes are squeezed for a long time, the toenails pierced into the meat, causing redness and swelling and pain and turning into parotitis.

Hallux valgus is mostly caused by wearing pointed high heels.

In general, hallux ectropion can be diagnosed if the physiological inclination of the thumb exceeds 13 degrees.

The front end of a pointed shoe is triangular. When standing, the toe is thrust into a narrow triangular area. The thumb is forced to turn outward and slightly outward. Other toes bend or rotate to fit the shape.

Claw toe means that the toes can not be stretched like claws. The ligaments and tendons stretched by tension make the joints of the toes bend down. After wearing shoes, the toe tips are pressed on the soles of the feet, the curved joints are rubbed, and thick cocoons are produced.

Heel is too high.

Symptoms: Achilles tendon injury, leg tension, plantar myositis, knee pain and low back pain.

The heel is too high, and at the same time maintain a high profile, and the Achilles tendon will be in a long way. People who wear high heels often feel that the elasticity of their Achilles tendon is not enough. Even if they take off their heels, they will not be able to walk.

The high heel also makes the calf muscle move upward on the back side of the calf, and is in a tight state. This is very harmful to the blood circulation of the leg, and the muscle is anoxic and easy to fatigue and acid, and it will cramp.

Plantar myositis is due to the downward bending of the foot while walking. The higher the heel is, the greater the degree of curvature, the shorter the muscles of the tendon and foot.

When you get up early in the morning, the muscles of your heel and the muscles of your feet suddenly stretch, which leads to inflammation of the sarcolemma.

Knee and lumbago are usually caused by walking in high heels, because the heel is high and the center of gravity will tilt forward when walking. In order to maintain balance, the knees will naturally be slightly curved, and the lumbar spine will bend back, and the knees and lumbar vertebrae will be painful for a long time.

I advise you to walk less when your heels are too high, especially to go downhill or downstairs.

High heel boots

Symptoms: ankle stiffness and pain

The boots wrap the legs and feet together, so that the movement of the ankle joints is limited, which greatly reduces the ability of self protection.

Because of being worn down by wearing boots, ankle sprain or fracture often happens.

If it is high heel boots, the risk factor is even greater, so it is best to buy boots with soft leather.

The soles are thin and hard.

Symptoms: Plantar pain

The term "plantar pain" is too professional, but in this high-heeled shoe survey, it ranks first in all kinds of pain, that is, the pain in the front foot.

Plantar pain usually occurs in the middle part of the third, fourth metatarsal head. The highly favored high-heeled shoes are thin, high heel, and the feet are in the middle. The metatarsal bones are oppressed for a long time. The injury of the metatarsal bones affects the nerve through the nerve, so as to make them thicker, eventually leading to the proliferation of the surrounding tissues, causing neuritis or plantar pain.

When you are suffering from severe pain, you must take off your shoes and socks, massage, and make up your mind to give up a few days of high-heeled shoes, wear soft cotton socks and sneakers, preferably with metatarsal cushions.

In the evening, hot compress or massage therapy will be effective.

Meticulous care

All these high-heeled shoes ladies have a deep understanding of these aches and pains.

Some people will have great compassion for themselves, know how to cherish this "second heart", and some people simply do not care about the pain caused by wearing high heels.

At present, there are not many out-patient clinics specializing in foot and ankle disease. Most women suffer from the pain caused by high-heeled shoes and forget to give them detailed care.

Don't ignore pain.

Pain is the response of the body to harmful stimuli. The so-called harmful stimuli are those that are strong enough to cause tissue injury or avoid injury.

For example, just put on a pair of new high-heeled shoes, the cortex is relatively hard, the toe tip is a little sharp, less than half an hour, and the toes are painful.

This kind of pain is a warning stimulus. It tells you that the next injury can be avoided. If you continue to persist, you may grind your blisters and you may grow corns, which may lead to hallux valgus.

As long as women who wear high heels often suffer from persistent pain, this pain is not only a reminder of your health, but also affects your daily mood, which makes you fidgety, irritable and easy to give up.

A Swedish scientist has found that wearing high heels has a lot to do with mental illness, because wearing high heels can hamper the secretion of dopamine in the brain and cause mental disorders.

The pain in the foot usually does not disappear after a night's rest. Mild trauma can wait for skin to heal. But long wearing high heel shoes cause foot deformities and neuropathic pain. All of them need to be corrected and treated in a professional hospital. Don't turn a blind eye to the pain after this fatigue.

Not too high heel.

I have read a report: American ergonomics warn women that heels should not be more than 6 centimeters high.

The choice of heel height depends not only on its beauty, but also on its comfort.

It is undeniable that wearing high-heeled shoes makes women's body look more satisfactory, showing a light posture, beautification of legs and lines, and a contraction of the buttocks muscles.

However, ergonomics research shows that heels at 3 centimeters are good for the body, but once more than 6 centimeters, the burden on the ankles and knees will be very large. The calf and back can easily feel tired. If the heel is over 10 cm, no matter standing or walking, feet, ankles, calves, lumbar vertebrae and neck will be very uncomfortable.

In our survey of professional women's high-heeled shoes, the height of high heels is 6 or more than 6 centimeters, accounting for 33.43%. This should arouse the attention of ladies.

Self massage therapy

Regular foot massage can relieve the pressure of the ligament, promote blood circulation and relieve pain in the feet and legs.

Injuries caused by body weight accumulation in high-heeled shoes will first cause pain in the middle part of the toes and soles of the feet, and then the bones and joints of these parts will degenerate early and the ligament will suffer chronic injuries.

It's still hard to learn foot massage. There are a lot of blood vessels and nerves in the plantar. The first thing to consider is the pain parts, such as the front feet, toes, ankles and calves, mainly for relaxing massage.

Advanced self-help massage should learn to find the heart, lung, liver, kidney and other parts at the corresponding points of the foot. Start with the massage cream containing rich grease, and use the thumb to light the pressure to achieve the purpose of health care.

After the plantar acupoint massage is completed, the lower leg parts of the instep, ankle and knee are massaged.

However, during menstrual period, it is better to avoid foot massage.

Minor action relieves pain

Working space can do proper foot exercises, mainly to exercise the flexibility of Achilles tendon and ankle.

However, the premise of this movement is that your office should reach agreement and allow you to change into flat shoes or slippers after entering the room.

Sitting on a chair, legs slightly separated, feet flat on the ground, first lift the heel, to the maximum, hold for five seconds, then restore, then slowly tiptoe up, also for five seconds, and then restore.

The whole movement is slow and the gradual gradual stretching of the Achilles tendon is felt.

This little action is repeated at least 10 times.

If you have the chance to go outside the office, you can take the opportunity to do some ankle movements.

Put your body's center of gravity on one leg, the other side of the leg is slightly curved, place the foot on the ground, relax the ankle joint, wrap around the center of the toe, do 10 times clockwise and counterclockwise, then change the other foot to do the same action.

Daily foot care

Cold compress or hot compress can relieve the pressure on the feet.

Generally speaking, cold compress is suitable for immediate muscle or ligament injury, and plays a role of hemostasis and anti-inflammatory. Hot compress is suitable for long-term or chronic injury, and can use 60 degrees of hot water to soak feet in the evening to promote blood circulation in feet.

Using hot water to soak feet is the simplest and practicable maintenance method.

When watching TV, you can put your feet in the hot water pot when you work in front of the computer, and put a few drops of essential oils to relieve the pressure, such as lavender, Gan Ju and jasmine essential oil.

Time should not be too long. It is best not to exceed 30 minutes.
