Back Pain

What kind of shoes should I wear to protect my back? What can I do when walking or standing to ease my pain?

Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes. Consider having your gait evaluated and corrected, if appropriate, with fitted shoe inserts (orthotics). If you must stand for long periods, rest one foot on a low stool.
