Relief from the pain caused by swollen ankles.
Independent medical opinion shows that an Adjustamatic adjustable
bed can help to reduce the pain and discomfort of swollen ankles
and oedema.
Oedema of the ankles is quite common, especially in hot weather,
at high altitude, and if movement is restricted. This swelling
is usually ‘dependent’, meaning that the pressure
of fluid in the legs, from prolonged standing or sitting, pushes
it into the surrounding tissues.
Generalised oedema causes weight increase. In mild cases there
may be no more effect than this, but more severe oedema can cause
difficulty in breathing. If the lung oedema becomes severe, the
situation may become life-threatening. Adjusting one's position
regularly whilst in bed or sitting down, coupled raising your
legs can help to reduce the pressure on the ankles, which causes
oedema.
Adjustamatic's adjustable beds
and chairs can help to reduce
oedema of the ankles in a number of ways:
Adjustamatic's beds and chairs are registered with the UK Government's
Medicines
and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The Research Team
at Niagara Healthcare Group, is constantly working to improve
the medical benefits of our adjustable beds and chairs.
