Relieve 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:

• The flexibility of an Adjustamatic beds or chair makes it possible to raise your legs thus reduce the pressure of the blood flow on the ankles. This helps to reduce the swelling and the associated pain.

• Adjustamatic's built-in Cyclo-Massage® Therapy system promotes good blood circulation which helps to stimulate the affected muscles and reduce swelling.

• Adjustamatic's unique Easy-Reach® system, also makes it easier for you to reach your bedside table without the need for stretching or turning, which can create further discomfort.

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.
