Did you know that 95% of the planet has health problems? From gout and arthritis to migraines and headaches, only a small minority of people are truly completely healthy at any given time. This fact is a boon to the pharmaceutical industry, which brings in more than a trillion U.S. dollars in any given year.
Luckily, you don’t always need to pump yourself full of expensive drugs to get relief from some frustrating ailments. Sometimes, a good foot massager (such as those from Lifepro Fitness) provides the relief and comfort you need to go about your day as normal. The benefits of using a foot massager go far beyond simple relaxation. They often provide much-needed relief from many health problems that may make walking uncomfortable or even painful.
In this article, we are going to talk about how foot massagers often play a profound role in symptom relief from many common foot ailments. If achy or painful feet are a common problem for you, an at-home foot massager can often provide easy and incredible relief on demand.
After you finish reading, you will see firsthand how a foot massager may be just the tool you need to work through some discomforts in your own life. It may even set off a “lightbulb” in your head about how powerful foot massagers can truly be.
Circulation and Neuropathy
Foot massagers can play a large role in relief for patients with circulation and neuropathy. Thanks to these massagers, the pain and discomfort often subside, allowing the patient to go about his or her day in maximum comfort. Before (or after) you read this section, you are going to want to learn how to use different types of foot massagers to achieve maximum relief.
Let’s start with circulation. If you find your feet feeling a little stiff, a foot massager may help. One study found that patients with low blood circulation or injury often saw improvement through foot massage alone – even without additional physical therapy or exercise! A simple foot massager can often provide relief at home, without having to shell out money for a massage therapist
Neuropathy, particularly peripheral neuropathy, is damage to the nerves in your brain or spinal cord. However, this type of neuropathy manifests itself in pain or numbness in the feet. Foot massage plays an equally powerful role in reducing pain and discomfort from neuropathy. It reduces the numbness, which in turn helps reduce the pain and discomfort. Using a foot massager for a few short sessions a week works wonders toward neuropathy relief.
Arthritis and Gout
Arthritis and its more severe cousin Gout are two of the most common yet deliberating disorders that can a significant amount of pain for people. Between these two similar conditions, there are an estimated 67 million people who suffer. Luckily, with consistent foot massage, these symptoms can be managed quite sufficiently.
Of these two disorders, arthritis is the most common and well-known. You may know of it as inflammation of specific joints in your body. Often found in women often 50, this disorder results in significant discomfort, often in the feet.
The purpose of a foot massager is to increase comfort and improve flexibility, which has consistently been shown to help arthritic patients in their day-to-day lives. You can also hire a massage therapist but why spend the money when you can use a Lifepro foot massager to give yourself a foot massage whenever you like?
The same concept applies to Gout. If you aren’t familiar with Gout, it’s a more severe form of arthritis that often targets the feet. The pain is typically more severe than arthritis and can come in the form of sudden blasts of pain, often in the big toe. Luckily, foot massagers still work quite well as they usually reduce stiffness and inflammation in the big toe.
Plantar Fasciitis
We’ve covered some of the more common conditions that affect the feet as a whole, so now we are going to touch on a specific condition that affects a specific part of the foot. Plantar fasciitis is a condition that particularly affects your heels. This is because it causes inflammation in the tissue that connects your heel to your toes.
Luckily, foot massagers (such as those from Lifepro) still do an excellent job of relieving this pain and inflammation. They still improve that circulation, which in turn improves flexibility and reduces that inflammation. Ultimately, this reduces heel pain in a simple and effective manner.
Migraine or Headache
What many people do not realize is that the connection between your brain and your feet is so powerful that a foot massage can often work wonders on migraines and headaches. Despite the vast difference in location of the body, there are numerous pressure points on the feet that you can target with a portable foot massager to find quick relief.
Much like gout, a massage targeting the big toe often provides quick relief. This is because in a common technique known as zone therapy, the big toe relates to your head, so targeting the big toe will often result in relief. With any effective foot massagers from Lifepro, you can easily target the big toe.
On top of this, foot massagers also provide blood flow to the nervous system. In turn, this provides relief from your headaches and migraines. To achieve maximum effect, we recommend using your foot massage for no more than 20 minutes.
Swollen or Flat Feet
One common pattern of foot pain and discomfort relates to blood flow. Nowhere is this more apparent than with swollen or flat feet. An effective session with a foot massager directly improves blood flow to the feet, in turn reducing swelling.
Flat feet may be a little less widely known, however, they are quite common. Simply put, flat feet are when the sides of your feet fall flat to the ground, rather than an arch. In fact, those with flat feet often experience no symptoms. However, if you do, a foot massage does an excellent job of reducing any related inflammation or pain.
As you can see, there is no reason why many conditions that affect your feet should be a hindrance to enjoying your everyday life. With the affordable price of a Lifepro foot massager, you can easily be well on your way to enjoying pain-free feet once again.
