• Throbbing or stinging pain in the lower leg or feet

• Changes in skin temperature

• Muscle cramps in legs, buttocks, or feet

• Edema or swelling in the feet, legs and/or fingers

• Varicose veins, leg ulcers and foot ulcers

• Itchy skin on hands, legs, or feet

• Changes in the colour of the skin

Treating Poor Circulation in Legs & Feet

Good circulation is essential for healthy muscles in the legs and feet. Cycloidal vibration can improve blood vessel dilation and stimulate blood flow in the feet and legs. The massage function of our Cyclo-Therapy improves blood circulation by increasing the diameter of blood vessels by dilation. Dilation improves blood to flow in the lower limbs in areas where blood flow may be restricted this can improve leg and feet health, which in turn may help with improved mobility and walking.

• Benefits of Improved Circulation

• Enhances blood flow

• Naturally lowers blood pressure

• Improves bodily function

Diabetes Cause Poor Blood Circulation

People who suffer with diabetes can also suffer from poor blood circulation as a complication of the disease. Referred to as micro and macro-vascular disease, blood vessels in diabetes sufferers can become narrow, hard, and blocked. In the case of peripheral vascular disease, the poor circulation will occur mainly in the lower legs.

If people with diabetes experience high blood glucose levels over a prolonged period of time, plaque can form in their blood vessels. If plaque forms in the vessels, they will be unable to deliver a sufficient amount of blood to neighbouring cells thus resulting in poor circulation, specifically in legs and feet.
