| Use a Bed Wedge to Relieve and Prevent Leg Circulation Problems |
| |
Special exercise equipment, support hosiery & socks, and health products that promote circulation, such as a bed wedge or leg wedge, are great ways to improve blood flow to your legs.
Here are just some of the ways a bed wedge can help:
- A bed wedge can reduce pressure on the lower spine.
- A bed wedge helps relieve muscle tension.
- A bed wedge helps improve circulation to the lower body, especially the legs.
- A bed wedge can help reduce stress on the heart.
The FootSmart Bed Wedge, for example, has a bi-foam cushion located inside the bed wedge that conforms to fit your back. The cushion is covered with an inch of visco-elastic heat-sensitive memory foam to give you the ultimate in comfort, and is covered in a hypoallergenic terry cloth with a non-slip bottom, making this bed wedge washable and very easy clean.
This bed wedge – available on FootSmart.com – also has an adjustable neck support, plus two reclining positions – one for reading or watching TV in bed, the other for those who prefer to sleep in an upright position. Women will especially appreciate using the bed wedge to sleep in an upright position, as it can help reduce eye puffiness and swelling as well! |

| Using a Bed Wedge Is Not the Only Way to Improve Leg Circulation |
| |
The most important treatment for poor leg circulation is to address the risk factors:
- Avoid cigarette smoking.
- Keep your blood pressure under control.
- Keep your cholesterol levels in the healthy range.
- Exercise on a regular and frequent basis.
- Keep moving – avoid staying immobile for long periods of time.
- Keep your feet and extremities warm.
- Wear graduated compression hosiery and socks that help stimulate circulation.
The Podiatry Institute suggests that you always see your physician if you suspect you have poor leg circulation, as the condition can be serious and an indication of another medical problem. Medications and other treatments, such as the use of a bed wedge, are available to treat leg circulation problems and to help prevent more serious consequences.
