A member asked:

Have heard women told that wearing high heels effects biomechanics and can lead to back pain. wondering if my 2 inch block heel logger boots i wear at work are exacerbating an existing problem i have with the muscles in my extreme low back?

The answer to your question is yes. But you could have more going on then you realize. One example having a rotated hip or a limb length difference or muscle weakness to name a few. Get evaluated. A podiatrist can help with any alignment pathology. Get frayed and evaluated.
