I have been in research on Postural Mechanics for the past 10 years. We have found that chronic low back pain is commonly associated with hyperpronation [weak feet]. Refer to Rothbart et. al. Amer Jour Pain Management, Vol4.3, July 1994. As an engineer would say, a weak foundation can effect the door on the fifth floor. A weak foot, can produce mechanical low back pain. Dr. Miles Schneider works in the area of Postural Mechanics and is one of the best around [Office (703) 750.1124) Good Luck.
Response:
There is a connection between back pain and postural foot position.Abnormal(excessive) pronation of the sub talar joint in the foot can lead to back pain assciated with poor shock absorption. One way of tackling this problem is by wearing prescription foot orthoses in the shoes in an attempt to restore nrmal function to the feet.
