Do your legs ever feel achy, tired or fatigued, heavy or swollen? If they do, you may have a condition known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and would benefit from compression therapy.
The foot is a complex system consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 ligaments, tendons, and muscles. The foot is subdivided into the rearfoot, midfoot, and forefoot.
Compression socks are widely known among people suffering from leg or foot problems but they have benefits that many people, including active individuals and those who stand on their feet all day, can take advantage of. In particular, people who have or are experiencing any of the following conditions can benefit from wearing gradient compression socks or stockings:
Stretching is an often-overlooked solution when it comes to helping with aches and pains. Stretching can be a simple yet powerful way to ease foot pain and tackle various foot issues.
Corns and callus are common and can be painful if left untreated. BioPed footcare clinicians treat corns and callus during routine footcare appointments.
Nothing is more important to your feet than a pair of shoes. Your feet are what keep you moving through life, from working that 12-hour shift to scoring the game-winning goal.
Do you ever experience achy and tired legs? Do you ever have leg swelling, a feeling of leg heaviness, or restless legs? If so, you might be suffering from what is called CVI, or Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
You have been enjoying the beautiful summer weather. Kicking off your shoes, walking around the pool or with your toes in the sand at the beach. Life is good. Summer is a great time to get outside and do more, but have you been taking care of your feet? Do your feet require some end-of-summer care to prepare for fall?
Compression socks can be a lifesaver for people who sit or stand for long periods of time. Whether you have a condition that causes swelling or not, compression socks can be used to allow you to do more while moving through your busy day.
