Are high heels \u2013 the symbol of\nelegance \u2013 the main contributing factor to foot problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to historical sources, people used to wear high heels in the 9th<\/sup> century in the Persian Empire.\u00a0Horse riders wore high heels in order to balance their feet in the stirrups, and to keep stable when horse riding. During World War II, women used to put on high heels as one of the ‘means’ to emphasise their\u00a0femininity. Since then, high heels have become an inescapable symbol of female elegance and grace. But can wearing high heels actually cause serious foot problems? Let’s discuss it with Aleksas Makulavi\u010dius<\/a>, orthopaedist and trauma specialist at Northway Medical Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctor, tell us: can women’s\nfavourite high heels lead to irrevocable feet deformities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although many\npeople think that toes become deformed due to wearing high heels too often,\nthere is only some truth in this. In fact, this deformity is usually inherited.\nAround 80% of patients say that their family members (mother, grandmother or\nany other relatives) had the same problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But external\nfactors, such as wearing shoes that are too tight or too high, and especially\nwearing them for a long time, can definitely deform healthy feet. According to\nstatistics, there are far more feet and toe deformations in countries where\npeople wear shoes. For example, Japanese had fewer feet deformations until the\nEuropean tradition of wearing shoes emerged in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feet deformities\nand abnormalities are related to the weakness of muscles and ligaments and disorders\nin their function. Sometimes frequent pregnancies can also affect the feet. If\na woman gains weight, her increased body mass may contribute to the loosening\nof ligaments and cause feet deformities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feet deformities\nare more common in women than in men. Women develop feet abnormalities and\ndeformities ten times more than men do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the most common types of foot concern?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common\nfoot problems are related to deformity of the toes. Around one-third of people\nhave this problem. Foot deformities are common in women. A hallux valgus\ndeformity, commonly called a bunion, is the commonest\nforefoot deformity in women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which symptoms indicate that you need medical advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all,\nfoot deformations are visible. If the deformity was minor but later developed,\nyou will see it with your own eyes. If you happen to see some changes in the\nshape of your foot or feel discomfort and tiredness, you should see your GP\nbecause these signs can be the first symptoms of development. It is critically\nimportant to see your doctor before your joints wear off. The worst thing\nhappens when certain foot deformities and incorrect loading on foot joints\ncause joint wear off and degeneration. In this case, medical specialists have\nlimited options and need to stabilise the damaged joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is foot deformation a cosmetic problem or it does\naffect overall health?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is more than\njust a cosmetic problem. First of all, it is an orthopaedic problem because\nplantar toe joints wear off more quickly and cause pain in the feet. Our feet\nare a small body segment which supports our body and bears its weight, so when\nwe lift our feet, the loading force is very high. Often people don’t even have\na clue about the actual load affecting their feet. The sooner you see your\ndoctor after the onset of initial feet deformity symptoms, the less complicated\nthe treatment and the faster recovery will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of work \u2013 sedentary or standing \u2013 affects\nthe feet more? Can intense physical activity help avoid feet deformities? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both long-term\nsedentary and standing work have a negative impact. We need balance in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human beings\nwere made to move. For this reason, physical activity is one of the crucial\nelements of a healthy lifestyle. Depending on physical capability and fitness\nlevel, each of us needs physical activity and exercise for optimal body\ndevelopment, normal performance of internal systems, comprehensive health and\nthe ability to work. Insufficient physical activity will cause a person to be\nweaker and will require a lot to satisfy their social and biological needs. And\nour feet are no exception to this. Joints must move. Reasonable physical\nactivity is a prevention method against all possible joint diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching also\nplays an important role. Sitting for a long time shortens certain muscle\ngroups. When muscles do not get resistance, they shorten in length so our body\ngets overloaded, and we can feel this while moving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice do you have for people with foot\ndeformity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most\nimportant piece of advice is to take care of your feet, keep them healthy and\navoid wearing ill-fitting and uncomfortable shoes. Remember that our feet\nsupport our body and bear its weight. My advice is to carefully choose\ncomfortable, well-fitted shoes with a heel that is 2-3 cm in height and roomy\nat the front. I would also recommend avoiding wearing high heels or not wearing\nthem frequently or for longer periods of time. When you wear high heels, you\nlose your foothold and this increases the load on your toes. Over time, this\nprocess leads to distortion of the big toe. This is why it is advisable to wear\nhigh heels only in exceptional cases. If your job involves standing all day\n(for example if you\u2019re a hairdresser, salesperson…), you should particularly\navoid wearing high heels. Another important thing is that our feet are also\naffected by flat-soled shoes, shoes with firm soles and no shape, and high and\nhard platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foot stretching,\nincluding flexion exercises and toe contractions, must form part of your daily\nroutine. In summer, go barefoot to have a good massage therapy for your foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnant women\nare advised to wear special compression socks and use supportive insoles which\nstrengthen the feet, silicone braces or another product from a wide range of\northopaedic products available on the market. All of these measures listed will\nbe helpful only if you don’t feel any pain or discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you decide whether surgery is necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any surgical\nintervention comes with some risk, so this risk must be carefully assessed. You\nshould consider having surgery only when pain in your feet worsens your daily\nlife. The pain occurs not only because of the bunion rubbing against an\nuncomfortable shoe or callosity, but in the feet itself after walking. Annoying\npain indicates that you need treatment and should not delay your visit to the\nGP. Arrange a visit to undergo an uncomplicated procedure and obtain good\nresults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does surgery involve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surgeon\nchooses the surgery technique depending on the patient’s age, grade of\ndeformity and bone structure. The surgery involves both a bone repair and\ncorrection of tissues surrounding the affected area. The surgery is conducted\nunder intravenous anaesthesia. It takes about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the course of the procedure? When can you\nreturn to work and your daily routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern surgery\nis comfortable enough. The patient will experience minor post-operative pain\nfor 1 or 2 days, but they can take any painkillers. If the deformity is minor,\nthe post-operative period usually lasts around a month. Usually, people who\nwork in an office can return to work in about 5 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can rest\nonly on the ankle during the recovery period. You can also use special\npost-operative shoes designed for comfortable and safe walking after surgery.\nDuring recovery, you must not only put your leg into a correct position but\nalso follow all other instructions from your surgeon \u2013 otherwise you will\njeopardise the success of your surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical load on\nyour foot after surgery must be restored gradually. You will need to do\nphysical therapy and specific exercises. The recovery period also depends on\nthe patient’s personal awareness and spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the results of the surgery? Can a deformity\nrenew? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically,\nsurgery has a successful outcome. If surgical management has been properly\nperformed, the probability of deformity renewal is around 5%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the surgery is performed on a child whose musculoskeletal system\nhas yet not developed, the probability will be higher. For this reason,\nonly adults are advised to have surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
