Microcirculation plays a role in nourishing tissues and in healing. Its disorders are investigated and treated in fields including diabetes care and cardiology.
What is microcirculation?
Microcirculation is the flow of blood in the smallest blood vessels in our body, such as capillaries. Proper microcirculation is essential to health because it is through these small vessels that the exchange of oxygen, nutrients and waste occurs between the blood and tissues.
Why is this so important?
Circulation problems can affect the condition of the skin and wound healing. Cold feet, changes in their colour or a wound that heals poorly require investigation of the cause.
BEMER® technology in our practice
We offer BEMER sessions at our practice. The manufacturer describes the device as stimulating microcirculation, but this does not mean that it provides proven protection against stroke or other diseases.
