Do you ever experience aching or pain in your legs? Understanding the importance of leg health at Central Jersey Ankle & Foot Care Specialists!

Everyone is a candidate for SIGVARIS Graduated Compression Medical Stockings.

For those of us who work in jobs where we have to stand, sit and or travel by plane for a living (healthcare workers, service men & women, teachers, factory workers, retail sales representatives, office administrators, sales professionals, etc.) we know firsthand how tired our legs can become after a long day on the job.

In fact, leg problems affect approximately one out of every five working men and women and cost US corporations more than 2 million lost workdays a year. And it’s not just people who stand and sit for a living, many factors can attribute to leg pain and discomfort. Understanding your symptoms and risks can help you determine if you are at risk for developing a venous disorder and what you can do to help prevent it.
