Benefits - Leg cramps

Orthotebb Health Shoes have benefits for Health, Fitness and Therapeutic Symptom Improvement.

Leg cramps may be due to muscle overwork, dehydration, or some chemical imbalance. Some medications may increase these symptoms. If these are simple leg cramps, try to avoid dehydration, do muscle stretches before bed, or massage legs. Warm soaks in the tub may help. If frequent and severe, see your doctor about other evaluation and treatment. This should be distinguished from restless legs syndrome.

 

Pressure from your growing uterus during pregnancy can also cause leg cramps or sharp pains down your legs.

Recommendations:

Be sure to eat and drink foods and beverages rich in calcium (such as milk, broccoli or cheese).

Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes. Try wearing support hose but avoid any leg wear that is too tight.

Elevate your legs when possible; avoid crossing your legs.

Exercise daily. Stretch your legs before going to bed. Avoid lying on your back, since the weight of your body and the pressure of your enlarged uterus (if pregnant) can slow the circulation in your legs, causing cramps.

Gently stretch any muscle that becomes cramped by straightening your leg, flexing your foot and pulling your toes toward you. Try massaging the cramp, or apply heat or a hot water bottle to the sore area.

 

Orthotebb Health Shoes are a convenient way to exercise, increasing the blood circulation and providing more oxygen to the leg muscles. The natural stretching action in the leg muscles, while in the rest positions, keeps the legs limber. Take a day off occasionally, allowing your muscles to rebuild. Remember to drink plenty of water and have enough calcium every day. With proper nutrition and exercise, leg cramps will lessen. You'll have never felt better!

The clogs are great. With a pair of thick socks, I can't tell you how wonderful they feel. After wearing them for two days, I felt increased tone in my quadriceps, and a sensation of feeling 'lighter' as I went about my daily activities. Wow!

... I can highly recommend the clogs which perform as advertised.

The biggest benefit to me is that it has helped my Restless Legs Syndrome tremendously. I wear them around the house in the evening, especially when I can tell that I am going to have trouble sleeping because of restless legs, then when I lay down I am able to go right to sleep instead of feeling like I need to run a marathon! Thanks! They are great!
