Back Pain and Foot Conditions: The Link Many foot conditions eventually contribute to health concerns farther up the kinetic chain, especially the generalized condition of "back pain." An anatomical difference in leg length produces abnormal structural strains on the pelvis and low back. These can cause not only chronic pain, but also have been shown to result in specific degenerative changes The use of prescribed orthotics, after the proper computerized structural scan has been shown to reduce these strains and bring about significant improvement.
