Risk Factors for Healthcare Workers<\/h4>\n

Healthcare professionals often spend long hours standing, taking care of patients and sitting at a computer to document cases. Many experience tired, achy legs, or swelling at the end of a shift. Not only are these symptoms uncomfortable, but are also a sign of significant risk for developing Chronic Venous Disease (CVD)<\/a>. In the era of COVID-19, this risk is even greater, since medical professionals are spending longer and longer hours on their feet. In fact, it is reported that nearly 70% of healthcare workers are affected by one or more symptoms of CVD.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
