Recently, Blackpink’s Jenny expressed her grievance on an overseas broadcast program, saying, “I was stressed because I kept getting hurt while performing in high heels.” I think I disappointed the fans because I didn’t seem to like it.”

High heels have the effect of making your legs look longer and emphasizing your S-shaped figure, but they deal a fatal blow to your musculoskeletal system. Introducing the diseases caused by high heels.
Sore feet, plantar fasciitis
Wearing shoes that do not absorb shock well, such as high heels, for long periods of time can cause plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which the plantar fascia becomes inflamed and painful. The plantar fascia is a thick and strong fibrous band that starts from the heel bone and extends to the toes of the sole of the foot. It plays an important role during walking by maintaining the curved shape of the sole and absorbing shock. Wearing high heels can cause plantar fasciitis by repeatedly injuring the plantar fascia.
If you have plantar fasciitis, you will feel pain like tearing the bottom of your foot. Pain occurs more often when standing or moving than when standing still, and the pain may appear and disappear temporarily, but it may feel painful or stiff throughout the day.
Toe protruding hallux valgus, small bunion
Wearing high-heeled shoes with high heels and narrow toes puts excessive force on the toes, which can deform the shape of the foot, typically with hallux valgus. Hallux valgus is a disease in which the big toe part bends outward and protrudes, causing friction with shoes. The protruding big toe not only looks bad, but also causes pain. If hallux valgus causes severe pain, surgery is considered. It is a method of shaving off the protruding part and correcting the angle of the bent bone back to its normal position. If the pain is not severe, you should minimize the pressure on your feet by wearing toe braces or shoes with wide balls.
For the same reason as hallux valgus, bunioneoussis is a disease in which the little toe protrudes and causes pain. In the beginning, the outside of the little toe turns red without pain, then blisters or calluses form. If the bones or ligaments are constantly irritated, bursitis may occur, resulting in swelling of the little toe and, in severe cases, ulceration.
Small bunions and hallux valgus often appear together. This is because the causes of both diseases are similar.
Spine curve changing lordosis
When you wear high heels, your upper body is tilted backwards more than usual to balance your body. If this posture is continued for a long time, the curve of the spine on the lumbar side gradually curves forward more than normal. This is lordosis, which increases muscle tension and causes back pain. Spinal lordosis can be the cause of a herniated disc, and the waist curves forward excessively, making the back stiff and difficult to straighten when bent down.
High heels, to wear healthily
If you must wear high heels, it is important to wear them so as not to harm your health. If you attach a soft gel pad to the front of the shoe, you can lessen the impact on your feet. In addition, if you wear high heels for more than 3 hours, it is good to take off your shoes, stretch your feet and calves, and massage them to improve blood circulation. Taking a foot bath in the evening following wearing high heels can relieve foot fatigue and swelling.
