Keep Your Feet Flowing
Understanding Poor Circulation
Your feet do a lot for you, carrying you through daily life, workouts, and everything in between. But sometimes, the blood flow to your feet isn’t what it should be. Poor circulation in the feet can cause discomfort, swelling, numbness, or even more serious complications if left unaddressed.
Several factors can contribute to poor circulation, including diabetes, obesity, smoking, and vascular conditions. People with poor circulation may notice cold feet, tingling, or slow-healing wounds. Because foot health and vascular health are closely linked, early detection and management are essential.
At Werkman Boven Chiropody, we not only focus on treating the symptoms in your feet but also prioritize the underlying vascular health. If we suspect that poor circulation is contributing to your discomfort, we can refer you directly to One Vascular Clinics. This means you don’t need to go through your family doctor first. Getting expert vascular care is fast, simple, and coordinated with your chiropody treatment.
In addition to professional care, there are simple steps you can take at home to improve circulation in your feet:
-
Stay active: Regular walking or low-impact exercise helps improve blood flow.
-
Foot stretches: Gentle stretching and ankle rotations stimulate circulation.
-
Proper footwear: Shoes that fit well prevent compression and support healthy blood flow.
-
Elevate your feet: Periodically raising your feet can reduce swelling and encourage circulation.
-
Healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and avoiding smoking all support vascular health.
Your feet are the foundation of your mobility. Recognizing the signs of poor circulation early can prevent complications and keep you moving comfortably. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait! Book an appointment at Werkman Boven Chiropody and get a direct referral to One Vascular Clinics for specialized care.
