How Adjustable Beds Help:

Customizable positions for better management of these conditions.

Swollen feet, ankles & legs, Oedema and Lymphedema are common ailments that are troublesome to many people. Regardless whether these are conditions came about as a result of an injury, illness or side effects from medical treatment, many people are unnecessarily experiencing an enormous amount of pain and discomfort not to mention reduction in mobility. Why suffer in silence or take medications such as diuretics (that have potentially harmful side effects) attempting to treat the issue when a simple, medication free and more wholistic alternative is available to address and ease these conditions.

Oedema
Oedema

Oedema: is where body parts swell from injury or inflammation. Oedema occurs when small blood vessels become “leaky” and release fluid into nearby tissues. That extra fluid builds up, which leads to the tissue swelling making the legs feel heavy leading to reduced mobility as well as discomfort and in some cases extreme pain. In some severe cases of oedema, people have been known to be retaining an additional 5-10 pounds of weight to each leg, sometimes more!

Lymphedema
Lymphedema

Lymphedema: is caused when damage to the lymphatic system occurs (a fairly common occurrence when people have received Radiation or Chemotherapy and lymphatic vessels have been damaged as a result). When the lymphatic system is impaired to the extent that the amount of lymphatic fluid within a given area exceeds the capacity of the lymphatic transport system to remove it and swelling occurs near the effect areas.

The Lymphatic System (immune system) is how toxins, poisons and waste are collected and transported to the liver & kidneys to be filtered then disposed via toileting. The Lymphatic system is the opposite side of the blood circulation system, the BIG difference is the Lymphatic system is a one-way drainage that is powered exercise. Harnessing the power of gravity is an effective way to enhance lymphatic drainage for a person in need.
