The Many Ways Your Feet Impact Knee and Hip Pain

When you experience pain in your hips, knees, or even in your lower back, shoulders and neck, there may be a connection between this pain and the way your feet are supported and how they function.

Knees and Hips are the largest joints in the body. Their main function is to support your weight as you stand and walk.

You can experience knee and hip pain for a number of reasons. A lot of times, it's due to your FEET and caused by wearing the incorrect footwear!
 

Common conditions that may cause foot, knee, and hip pain:
* Hypermobile feet
* Fallen arches
* Excessive supination
* Excessive pronation
* Osteoarthritis
* Runners knee
* Bursitis
* Arthritis
* Bunions
* Neuromas
* Plantar Fasciitis
...and the list goes on

Exercise is an important treatment for many of these conditions, such as walking. But walking with the WRONG footwear will only create more problems and longer-term ones as well.

The Quest for the Right Shoes

Shoes that promote good alignment play a significant role in reducing knee and hip pain.

Here's what to Look For:

• Heel Height: Don't wear heels that are over two inches high. High heels increase the risk of knee joint degeneration. 

• Arch support: Flat shoes are not necessarily good for your feet if they don't have proper arch support. Wear shoes with GOOD arch support.  

• Get the right fit. Improperly fit shoes (too tight at the toes, too big, too narrow) can cause limping from foot pain and impair your gait. Consequently, you’ll be putting unnecessary stress on your knees and hips. 

• Overall Support. Shoes that offer support and cushioning help control overpronation. Additionally, they provide relief to the ball of the foot, helping to reduce arthritic pain in the hip, knee, foot, or ankle. 

• Replace your shoes. When your shoes no longer provide the necessary support, it's time to replace them.  

• Correction of foot function. Wearing proper footwear with quality orthotic insoles can be effective measures to relieve symptoms of knee and hip pain. 

• Quality Shoes. Not all shoes are constructed alike. You get what you pay for! Choosing high-quality footwear made specifically for your condition will be the best investment you'll ever make.
