Killer outfit: how tight clothes harm the spine

For the desire to look attractive in the eyes of others, women daily pay with their health. And the reason for that – tight clothes, uncomfortable underwear. Tight and tight suits, creating tension in the back and neck, can harm the spine. Shoes with high heels cause sciatica. And even a flirty clutch bag can significantly worsen posture. And then these jeans at best gather dust in the closet, and at worst  – torture the body. Wear too tight clothes – this is a bad taste and an extra risk to health, experts say, estet-portal.com agrees. 

Tight underwear can cause scoliosis

• Tight clothing also includes a bra with thin straps, which allows a woman to look sexy. Therefore, many prefer just such models. But if the owners of small breasts can still afford to wear such underwear, then it is better for women with outstanding forms to refuse it. A narrow shoulder strap, concentrating in one place on the shoulder, pulls it down, which can cause scoliosis.
• Shapewear helps beautifully emphasize the shape, and sometimes hide those fat deposits that are especially evident in the abdomen and back. Acting as a frame, it also strengthens the muscles of the back, which allows a woman to stand straight. However, all this applies to those cases when the underwear is selected by size. The desire to wear a size, or even two, less, can be detrimental to health. Tight underwear compresses the body and thus fetters the muscles of the pelvic girdle. This provokes first tension, and then pain in the muscles of the back.
• Single strap top beautifully exposes one shoulder and accentuates the other. However, it is not suitable for women with outstanding virtues. If you don’t want to give it up, then you should wear a bra under the top for additional breast support. Such a top pulls the neck forward and creates additional stress on the vertebrae.

It is a mistake to assume that everyone has scoliosis and it is not necessary to treat it, sooner or later even a slight curvature of the spine will lead to back pain, chronic diseases of internal organs, intervertebral hernia, headache and other serious diseases. 

Tight clothing provokes lower back pain

• Pencil skirt – one of the attributes of office clothes. She forces the woman to keep her knees together and reduces her stride. But it is precisely these ennobling qualities that limit movement and strain the lower back. Constant tension in the back can cause disc or muscle problems, as well as provoke damage to the spine.
• Jeans, especially narrow so-called skinny jeans, tight legs, thus restricting the movements of the knees and hips. Changing the position of the body while walking puts additional stress on the joints, which leads to a decrease in their depreciation.

Pants that squeeze the stomach provoke heartburn, and subsequently a hernia and a stomach ulcer. It also makes breathing difficult, leading to panic attacks and ongoing stress. Here are the consequences of wearing tight clothing. 

Heavy accessories threaten with curvature of the spine

• Large jewelry in the form of heavy necklaces or massive earrings  with constant wear, they can also deal a blow to the health of their owner. Therefore, you need to wear them only for a short time, and then — take off. Massive jewelry pulls the neck forward, resulting in poor posture.

• Shoulder bag. You can only carry a bag like this if it is light. Otherwise, it will create an imbalance in the weight load on the spine. And if the bag is worn often in this way, then it can cause damage to both muscles and joints. A heavy bag, the strap of which is thrown over one shoulder, will make a person bend to the side. An unnatural counterbalance to the position of one shoulder can cause a curvature of the spine.

In order to keep the harm from a large bag to a minimum, it is necessary, at the very least, to regularly change the shoulder on which it is hung. In addition, it is worth picking up a bag with an adjustable handle length – then it can be worn both in the hands and on the shoulder, thereby reducing the risk of pain.

Shoes with a narrow toe are dangerous for circulatory disorders

• Tight shoes, like tight clothes, can harm the body. Stilettos — the most dangerous item in a woman's wardrobe. They give the owners the desired harmony and grace, but at the same time ruin their health in the literal sense of the word. The center of gravity shifts, the angle of inclination changes, which leads to tension in the lower back. An unnatural position of the spine threatens to pinch the discs and develop sciatica.

• Shoes with a narrow toe hold the foot in a vice in the truest sense of the word, which can lead to poor circulation. Low running shoes are also not optimal for daily wear: the lack of an arch support and appropriate cushioning when walking can cause foot deformity. Wedge shoes are ideal for constant wear. The legs in it have good support, which avoids the destructive pressure on the foot.

In addition, tight shoes cause deformation of the joints of the toes and, with frequent use, create ideal conditions for the development of the fungus, notes estet-portal.com.
