Check out any woman's wardrobe and you will be sure to find at least one pair of high heel shoes there. After all, which woman can 36 wearing something that makes her look taller and her legs 37 longer? Unfortunately, those high heel shoes women love so much 38 their name, and can end up doing more damage than you can imagine 39 the spine(脊柱) and lower back—if care is not taken.
Murlowska, a therapist(治疗师 ), is 40 with the consequences of wearing high heels. A majority of 41 who arrive at Murlowska's office come to her with back and lower back problems. Very often the 42 are the result of not walking properly in high heels or choosing the 43 kind of footwear.
"I know women love wearing high heels but they can 44 extreme damage to the body," Murlowska says, "I recently had a patient who had a terrible fall while walking in high heels and twisted her 45 . She did not think much of it at the time, but the next morning she 46 up to find her knee swollen and painful."
If a woman walks in heels 47 than five centimeters, several pressure points develop in various parts of the body which experience 48 . Essentially, a woman wearing high heels is attempting to 49 her entire body on a very small area. This causes extreme stress on the muscles of the legs 50 increasing the chances of the ankle getting twisted. This can 51 damage to the knee ligaments(韧带) and tendons(腱). High heels force the 52 into an unnatural down-turned position. Consequently, the rest of the body has to 53 itself in order to stay balanced. The lower part of the spine as well as the hip bone tilts(倾斜) forward while the 54 spine and the neck tilts back in order to maintain balance."
Over a period of time, the hip bone also gets 55 because of the change in the center of gravity as a result of wearing high heels.
