Flip Flops Are Dangerous And Often Affect Bones.

Recently, on the Internet about wearing

The net posts that cause serious harm to the human body are wildly reproduced. Some netizens say that wearing flip flops may even cause human skeleton injuries.

Reporters learned from the experts that wearing flip flops had an effect on the human body, but there was no scientific basis for netizens to worry about hurting bones.

Long time wearing flip flops will cause tendon strain.

Yesterday, the reporter consulted two experts from the Acupuncture Department of the city hospital of traditional Chinese medicine and the orthopaedics and traumatology department of TCM, and two experts all said that the Internet crazy saying that the flip flops would cause human bone injury was too far fetched and lacks scientific basis.

"Wearing a flip flop for a long time may cause discomfort in the feet and legs," Yang Changjie, director of Orthopaedics and traumatology department of Chinese medicine hospital, told reporters.

Director Yang said that the distortion and pressure on feet caused by the construction of "flip flops" is very unhealthy.

He introduces that the sole of the flip flops is generally thin, which does not have a great bearing force on the sole of the foot. When walking, it will cause the feet to feel the reverse force from the ground, and the load that the feet need to bear will also increase, which will easily lead to plantar fasciitis.

In addition, the flip flops have only two thin ribbons, and the "human" shaped part is used to bind the toes.

In order to pinch the shoes more firmly, the toes will unconsciously tighten and curl up to "grab" the soles.

This distorted state will lead to tendon strain under the toes.

"Our hospital has also encountered patients with long plantar fasciitis caused by long time wearing flip flops, but no one has ever seen a skeleton injury due to wearing a flip flop. This statement is too exaggerated and has no scientific basis to support it."

Yang Changjie said.

Doctor's advice

It is best not to wear a flip flop for more than 1 hours.

Yang Changjie suggested that the general public should not wear long flip flops for long.

"You should take a break after walking for more than 1 hours. Do not wear flip flops when traveling.

In addition, it should be noted that the flip flops should be replaced in the next 3-4 months as the sports shoes. If the shoes are worn and skewed, they must be replaced in time.

Yang Changjie said that if the wearing of flip flops is too long for foot and leg discomfort, you can use the brine to make a "foot bath" for yourself. For 10-15 minutes, it helps relieve foot discomfort, promotes blood circulation of the ankle and calf, stretches the muscles and veins, and improves the stiffness of the lower extremities.
