They say that if your feet are misaligned when you are walking, then this can cause a chain reaction from your ankles to your neck, resulting in a headache and backpain.
You can however buy special inner soles (known as orthothics) which can help. Two good ones are Carnations Powerstep or Foot Balance, which moulds to your foot and can be used in all your shoes.

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.

Even though I have a chronic back problem I cannot wear completely flat shoes or it just makes my pain much worse 😦

That’s useful, Bar – I have to be careful with shoes these days since I got arthritis in my right foot.
