Circulatory Disorders

However, circulatory disorders can appear at a young age too and because of the large number of arteries, veins and vessels in our body, they may manifest themselves practically anywhere. Another problem of circulatory disorders is that they cause ailments that could be irreversible. That is why it is essential not to wait until you suffer from the symptoms caused by circulatory disorders in order to take action. Prevention is a much better option.

There are two very good methods to stimulate and support blood flow in specific areas of the body: exercise and massage. At the same time it is also recommended to reduce or avoid (if possible) all factors that have a negative effect on circulatory system, such as smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, high blood pressure, unhealthy stress, elevated blood lipids, diabetes mellitus, as well as cold weather and emotional stress.

TENS therapy can promote healthy blood flow as well. TENS uses electrotherapy: electrodes transmit electric pulses through the skin to specific nerves. All that you feel is a slight tingling sensation.

It is recommended to use TENS with a low frequency of 2-10 Hz to improve blood flow. Another advantage of TENS is that you can use this method by yourself and apply the TENS treatment with a small device at home.
