FIXING YOUR STRIDE
When you are experiencing regular back pain—especially if you are experiencing back pain while walking—you should consider ways that you can reduce back pain by taking small steps to support your back. There are several things that you can do at home to improve your stride, which can make a significant difference when it comes to managing back pain day-to-day. Here are several ways that you can start taking care of your back with each step you take: 1. Make sure that you are wearing the right types of shoes. While sneakers are a great walking shoe, it is important to make sure to wear a sneaker that is going to provide you with the arch support that meets your individual needs. This may mean upgrading from your minimal support sneaker to somethingmore athletically designed. 2. Try a custom insert in your shoe. Of course, you can’t wear sneakers all the time. You may find it helpful to have custom orthotics made for your work shoes and fancier shoes, so that you can have more arch support around the clock. We can help you with this! We carry orthotics. 3. Work on improving your posture. If you are slouching when you walk, then that may be impacting the way that your back feels. Take a few minutes in the morning and again in the afternoon to stretch your back, and thenmake a point of keeping your shoulders square and your back straight as you walk. Simply standing tall may alleviate some of your back pain. For extra assistance, our balance programs can also help in fixing your stride and helping you become better balanced as a way to relieve back pain. While these helpful tips are great ways to treat your pain at home, an individualized balance plan is the best way to make sure you are recovering from your pain as quickly as possible.
