How does wearing high heels affect your hips?

Wearing high heels can lead to altered hip alignment and increased strain on the hip joints due to the elevation of the heel, which shifts the body's center of gravity. This can result in changes to the natural curvature of the spine and increased pressure on the hips and lower back. Prolonged use of high heels may contribute to musculoskeletal issues, including hip pain and discomfort, as the body compensates for the altered posture. Additionally, frequent wear can weaken the muscles that support the hips and pelvis over time.
