Leg circulation is intricately linked to overall health. Prolonged sitting or standing can cause blood to pool in the legs, resulting in symptoms such as heaviness, tingling, and discomfort. The calf muscles, often called the "second heart," play a critical role in pumping blood upward. When this muscle-pumping function weakens, circulation is impaired, placing strain not only on leg health but also on the overall cardiovascular system.Persistent symptoms—such as swelling, chronic fatigue, or coldness in the legs—if left untreated, can progress to serious vascular conditions, including varic

·다리 혈액순환은 전신 건강과 직결된다. 하루 종일 앉아 있거나 오래 서 있는 생활이 반복되면 다리에 혈액이 고이면서 무겁고 저린 증상이 나타나기 쉽다.특히 다리는 ‘제2의 심장’이라 불리는 종아리 근육이 혈액을 위로 끌어올리는 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 이 기능이 떨어지면 혈액순환 장애가 발생해 다리 건강뿐 아니라 심혈관계 전체에 부담을 준다.다리에서 부종, 만성 피로, 냉감과 같은 증상이 지속되고 이를 방치할 경우, 하지정맥류, 심부정맥혈전증(DVT), 혈전색전증과 같은 혈관 질환으로 발전할 수 있다. 이처럼 다리 혈액순환 관리는 전신 건강을 위한 첫걸음이 된다.◇ 생활 습관 개선이 혈액순환의 첫걸음 원활한 다리 혈액

최근 러닝 열풍에 젊은 무릎 통증 환자가 증가하는데 이어 고령화에 따른 시니어들의 퇴행성 무릎 질환 부담도 커지고 있다. 문제는 이러한 무릎 통증을 단순한 근육통이나 일시적 증상으로 여겨 치료 시기를 놓치는 환자들이 적지 않다는 점이다. 만약 이럴 경우 퇴행성 관절염을 비롯한 만성 질환으로 이어질 수 있어 조기 치료와 적절한 치료법 선택이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 가운데 자생한방병원 척추관절연구소(소장 하인혁) 정명인 한의사 연구팀은 만성 무릎 통증 환자를 대상으로 약침치료와 물리치료의 효과 및 안전성을 무작위로 배정해 비교·평가한 연구 결과를 SCI(E)급 국제학술지 ‘메디시나 (Medicina, IF: 2.4)’에 발표했다고
