WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COMPRESSION SOCKS?

Compression socks help with blood circulation, reduce swelling, varicose veins, spider veins, thrombosis and so much more. If you stand all day or remain less active, they provide endless benefits! They are helpful when pregnant or travelling and also if you experience tired legs, cold feet or if you are diabetic.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A T.E.N.S/E.M.S UNIT?

TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is a noninvasive method for relieving pain. People who experience pain relief from TENS may be able to reduce their intake of pain medications, some of which can be addictive or cause adverse side effects. Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) can help treat musculoskeletal injuries or ailments.

TENS units may help treat the following symptoms:​

• labor pain

• menstrual pain

• postoperative pain

• joint pain

• neck and back pain

They may also alleviate pain that results from the following conditions:​​

• sports injuries

• arthritis

• endometriosis

WHY WOULD CUSTOM-MADE ORTHOTICS BENEFIT ME?

The benefits of wearing custom orthotics include:

• Alleviating pain in the foot, ankle, leg, and lower back

• Maintaining correct alignment of foot and leg

• Improving balance

• Supporting the arch and heel

• Preventing bunions and clawed digits

• Absorbing shock and distributing the pressure across the bottom of the foot

• Preventing calluses, corns, and ulcerations by offloading pressure from areas at risk

• Allowing you to stay longer when walking or doing sporting activities

It is important for your feet to be properly assessed before getting custom orthotics. They will have the largest impact if your feet are experiencing pain or any type of problem.

If you don’t have any particular medical condition, injury or deformity, you can still use custom orthotics to prevent future problems.
