How feet problems can
cause back pain
Have you ever known that foot
problems could be one of the causes of back pain? This has been proven by
studies conducted recently. It is true that there is a relationship between
your feet's structural balance and the kinematic chain of your body.
Structural stress such as pronation of the feet causes imbalance of the muscle and in most cases, this starts at the foundation of your foot. One leg supports the spine whenever you walk. This is why it's important to consult foot massageprofessionals who will ensure that any problems in your feet are well treated.
The human foot has 33 joints, 26 bones and hundreds of muscles. Others are ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels and three arches. The main role, which the arches play, promotes the absorption of shock, propels the body while moving and supports the body's weight. During mid stance, the rolling inward of the foot occurs, which helps to enhance the biomechanics of the foot.
However, as we grow older, the tendons, which support our feet, get weak and this causess the inner arch to drift inwards. This occurs slowly and if this condition is not treated, the tendons and ligaments may get deformed. Several methods can be used to treat or slow down the development of this problem especially in people who have aged considerably.
The treatment, which is offered, works towards making sure that the tendons and ligaments do not become accustomed to misalignments. Without pronation treatment, there are certain consequences, which occur. Among them are Achilles tendonitis, bunions, plantar fasciitis and many more. The treatment service providers will have to look at all factors around the feet that could result in back pain and related issues.
Excessive weight is also one of the leading causes of back and neck pain. According to recent statistics there are millions of men and women, who suffer from back pain, due to being overweight. One of the best ways to deal with such problems is to take part in a serious weight loss programme. There are many weight loss methods and it is important to choose one that works for you.
If you can manage to take care of your excessive weight and your foot problems, you can be sure that your back painwill disappear.

Now a unique call centre
for pregnant women
Here's a piece of good news for
the pregnant women of Assam, which will go
a long way in the uplift of the women, if adopted by other states too.
Management and Research Institute (HMRI), an initiative under the Ajay G. Piramal Foundation, in association with Assam National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) have set up a formal and organised call centre for pregnant women in Assam under the Central Government's Mother and Child Tracking System (MCTS) scheme. Ghulam Nabi Azad, the Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Govt. of India, formally inaugurated the MCTS Call Centre at HMRI office premises in Guwahati on September 01, 2013.
Other distinguished dignitaries present on the occasion of the launch ceremony were Dr. Partho Jyoti Gogoi , the Regional Director of theMinistry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India and Smt. Anuradha Gupta, Additional Secretary and Mission Director of NRHM, Govt. of India along with the senior leaders of HMRI and Piramal Foundation.
The call centre pioneers an innovative concept to provide complete services to pregnant women and children in the state of Assam, thereby reducing the Maternity Mortality Rate MMR and Infant Mortality Rate IMR through this initiative. A state-of-the-art application software has been developed by HMRI especially for this project, which will enable the tracking of the progress during the entire pregnancy period of the expecting woman starting from the time a woman conceives up to the time the child is delivered till the immunisation processes are completed.
"The Piramal Foundation supports HMRI in addressing the healthcare needs of the under privileged section of the Indian society. This initiative in Assam further reinforces our endeavor in providing technology enabled mass solutions that can provide health advice and support to the remotest parts of India", said Paresh Parasnis, Head of Piramal Foundation at the inauguration.
As MCTS is a Central Govt. initiative, most of the states in India are in the process of implementing this scheme in cooperation with the respective Central and State Governments.
Other services offered by HMRI in association with NRHM in Assam are the Sarathi 104 Health Helpline, ASHA Helpline, ARSH Helpline and the Complaint Logging System.
