Back Pain can be caused by an unstable pelvis from a physical or functional leg length difference or from an excessive forward leaning posture leading to muscle over-use just from standing up. The majority of back pain sufferers are experiencing muscle pain.

Excessive foot pronation and/or arch collapse will produce internal rotation stresses to the leg, hip, pelvis, and low back. The result is recurring subluxations and eventual ligament instability affecting the sacroiliac and lumbar spine joints.

In cases of degenerative changes in the lumbar discs and facets, external heel-strike force may aggravate and perpetuate low back pain.

An anatomical difference in leg length produces strains to the pelvic and low backstructures. These strains can cause not only chronic pain, but have also been shown to result in specific degenerative changes.
