If you have tired, aching, swollen legs, or if you see the beginning of varicose veins, this means that you are at a risk. Vein problems can progressively worsen over time and can affect your health for the rest of your life. Much can be done to decrease the risk of developing venous disorders.
Screening with Plethysmograph
GHF regularly conducts Venous insufficiency sessions , free screening is be done with a device called as Plethysmography (PG). PG is a non-invasive medical test that measures the venous influx and outflow in the leg veins ,wherein a sensor is placed on the calf muscle of any individual leg for subsequent reading of blood circulation and volume.
A report is then generated by the machine which is then evaluated by comparing with standard values ,thus helping to recognize early symptoms of venous Insufficiency which are often dismissed as Tired and Aching legs. This is only screening and it does not substitute for medical advice. We are only sensitizing the individuals to recognize their problem of Tired / Aching Legs and guiding them to take necessary precautions at early stages to prevent further deterioration. Also simple exercises are demonstrated for their leg wellness.
