Venous Insufficiency


Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition causing improper blood flow resulting in various health issues. In chronic venous insufficiency, the valves that prevent blood from flowing backward in your veins are damaged. The damage to these valves allows blood to pool and leak into the surrounding tissue, which can cause swelling, edema, varicose veins, tired legs and feet, and Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Prevent Chronic Venous Insufficiency


You can help to prevent chronic venous insufficiency by promoting healthy blood flow. Get your blood moving in your legs by walking around or exercising. Keeping your weight under control and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing can also help prevent chronic venous insufficiency.

Treat Chronic Venous Insufficiency


Graduated support stockings and socks are often doctor recommended to help prevent and treat chronic venous insufficiency. Keeping your legs elevated above the level of your heart and allowing gravity to promote healthy blood flow between your legs and heart can also help treat venous insufficiency. If you are experiencing prolonged swelling or aches and pains in your legs and feet, talk to your doctor or health care provider. Chronic venous insufficiency could be the cause of your symptoms. This condition can lead to other serious health problems and should be diagnosed and treated immediately to reduce that risk.
