Griffin Home Health Care, Inc. (http://griffinhomehealthcare.com) and Juzo – a leading manufacturer of compression therapy garments – are teaming up to offer free leg vein screenings on Friday, May 16, 2014. The event will take place from 9AM to 5PM at Griffin’s Charlotte store located at 4231 Monroe Road.

“Designed to detect if your legs are at risk of developing circulatory problems, the screening is as fast and simple as having your blood pressure checked,” said Richie Griffin, vice president of Griffin Home Health Care. “Many factors contribute to the overall health of a person’s legs, but it’s the legs’ internal functions that play one of the most important roles to ensure proper blood circulation and oxygen flow.”

Symptoms that can develop as a result of poor circulation include: heavy, tired, aching legs; swollen legs and/or ankles; sensation of warmth in the legs; tingling or cramping of the legs; and/or dull or sharp pain in the calf muscles.

The event will also feature guest speakers. For more information or to make an appointment for free leg vein screenings, contact Griffin Home Health Care at 704-347-1993.
