What is Willis-Ekbom Disease? Understanding Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Willis-Ekbom Disease, more commonly known as Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), is a neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, this condition often disrupts sleep, productivity, and overall quality of life. At VENOSAN USA, we understand the challenges that RLS presents, and our Venosan 6000 Compression Stockings are specifically designed to help manage and alleviate symptoms.
What is Willis-Ekbom Disease?
Willis-Ekbom Disease is a chronic condition affecting the nervous system. It causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, typically during rest or inactivity, often at night. These sensations are relieved temporarily by movement, which can interfere with both sleep and relaxation.
Symptoms of Willis-Ekbom Disease
The key symptoms of RLS include:
- Uncomfortable leg sensations: A crawling, tingling, or throbbing feeling in the legs.
- An irresistible urge to move the legs: Often disrupting rest or activities.
- Symptoms worsening at night: This can lead to chronic sleep disturbances.
- Involuntary leg movements during sleep: Known as periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS), this is a common symptom for individuals with RLS.
How Compression Stockings Help with RLS
Compression therapy is a proven method to help alleviate the discomfort associated with RLS. By improving circulation in the legs, compression stockings can reduce symptoms like tingling or restlessness, particularly during periods of prolonged inactivity. The consistent, gentle pressure of compression stockings helps promote blood flow, which may address one of the underlying factors contributing to RLS symptoms.
