What is Poor Circulation and How does Diabetes Contribute?

Poor circulation is when the flow of blood through the arteries is limited to certain areas of the body. Limited blood flow can cause pain and several other issues to arise. Diabetes is a contributor to poor circulation because it leaves high glucose levels in the blood. These high glucose levels can cause damage to the walls of the arteries. This damage causes hardening of the arteries and eventually restricts blood flow to the legs and feet.

Treating Poor Circulation

There are several different ways to increase blood flow throughout the arteries. Some simple steps to help increase circulation are to:

• Elevate the feet
• Keep and maintain an active lifestyle
• Keep and maintain a healthy diet
• Sit with legs uncrossed
• Eliminate stress
• Don’t smoke

Doing some or all of these steps can greatly improve circulation, provide natural pain relief, and help to avoid the loss of limbs or in some cases, even life.

In addition to the steps listed above, Clark Wellness has developed the Reflex Wave™ Foot and Calf Massager to help increase circulation. This user friendly massager is uniquely designed to stimulate the pressure and reflex points in the feet. These reflex points help stimulate corresponding parts of the body and increase blood circulation as well as relax the body as a whole.

The Reflex Wave™ Foot and Calf Massager was designed with ease and portability in mind. You can use this lightweight massager whenever you want, in your home or even at the office.

If you or someone you know is suffering from poor blood circulation, the Reflex Wave Foot and Calf Massager™ by Clark Wellness is something that could provide pain relief and help elevate your feeling of wellbeing.
