You might not know this but one of the most profound risk factors involved with the development of varicose veins is standing for long periods of time. This is due to the fact that when you stand up your veins have got to pump upwards in order to deliver blood back up to the heart. This in turn makes blood circulation much more difficult than it needs to be. With the blood beginning to pool,a varicose vein will be formed. The most vulnerable to vein disease are people such as nurses, teachers, hairdressers and many others who stand on their feet all day long. If you fall into this category then follow these tips closely to ensure your blood flows smoothly and lowers the risk of vein disease.
Elevate Your Legs:
When you stand up your veins must work very hard against gravity to pump blood back into your heart. If you elevate your legs you will put the gravity back on side with your veins making it less stressful for them. Try your best to find ways to keep your legs elevated during the day while you are at work. For example you could use a recliner when you watch the television.
Wear Compression Stockings:
Standing makes it easier for your blood to start pooling in the legs. Compression stockings are very effective in keeping your veins in the correct position to pump your blood all the way back up to the heart. You can purchase compression stockings at any Vein Clinics in the USA and they come in a whole variety of colors and sizes.
Walking:
The more time you spend walking the better as it stimulates your leg muscles helping regulate the blood flow. There are a lot of benefits included when you walk more often but one in particular is preventing varicose veins from being created. You should definitely consider buying a pedometer to help increase your daily step count. Try setting yourself a target and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Do as much as you can to increase your step count. Even deliberately parking further away from the supermarket helps a lot.
Stretch:
Lots of people stretch before they exercise to prevent soreness from occurring. The reason behind this is that stretching increases blood circulation and the amount of nutrients passed into the muscles. This increased circulation is essential in preventing the development of varicose veins. Try quick leg stretches when you are at work to help or even attend a yoga class.
Exercise:
Exercise is paramount when it comes down to preventing varicose veins. Along with being great for weight loss it is super effective in preventing varicose veins from forming. Exercising is one of the best ways to keep the blood flowing and stimulate the muscles. By exercising regularly you will feel much better and have fantastic looking legs.
Follow these five tips and you should be fine. Just do your best and commit yourself to stretching and exercising for optimum effects. Nobody wants vein disease so make sure you prevent any varicose veins from forming.
Consultation
by Alan. Trufal
Category: generalAfter 3 veinous ultrasounds, due to a swollen left leg and painful ankle when walking, I got my doctor to refer me to Canada Vein Clinic. Another ultrasound was done in house. I lucked into a virtual consultation with Dr. Matz himself, shortly after , fully expecting a recommendation for one of the vein treatments . Laser was what I expected. Much to my surprise , after being asked a number of questions relating to my symptoms, Dr. Matz suggested that there was no serious vein problem . He recommended an arterial ultrasound, which was also done in house , shortly afterwards. Before I forget , I would also like to thank the staff , and in particular Sasha , for all her help and concern. It appears that I do have minor vein and artery issues in my left leg. But , nothing that would require any intervention at this point in time. I cannot thank Dr. Matz enough. I believe he is a very honest , caring and most competent doctor . If I ever do need a vein procedure , I will return to have Dr. Matz do it.
VenaSeal
by Billie Johnston
Category: generalGreat experience at Canada Vein Clinic. I had the procedure done approximately 3 years ago to remove my varicose veins. It has taken me this long to leave a review because I wanted to be sure it lasted. It has! I was VERY nervous, but on the day of the procedure felt comfortable and confident that I was "in good hands". The actual procedure was not painful and not even uncomfortable. However, 3 or 4 days after, I did develop pain and discomfort (because I did not follow instructions). It was recommended that I apply Arnica and I did not. When I developed the pain, I did start applying the Arnica and within a day everything was as it should be. Highly recommend Canada Vein Clinic. Very professional, courteous, and informative. And my leg is still smooth and vein free after 3 years!
Venalseal
by Gisele McCann
Category: vein therapyI had contacted Dr.Matz at the Canada Vein Clinic to have removal of some very large veins reviewd. Since I have some medical issues, Dr.Matz suggested that the safest way to achieve this would be with the venaseal procedure. Ultrasounds confirmed that this would be the safest way. I was aware that it may not result in a 100% result. The procedure was basically pain free with a minimal amount of bruising and very fast recovery. Multible Ultrasound checks over 1 years Confirmed that the procedure was successful and improved with time. I submitted pictures for a telephone consultation with Dr.Matz and was assured that minor issues could be addressed at a later date. I was treated with the utmost professionalism by Dr.Matz and the clicic staff. I would recommend to get an assessment by Drt.Matz at Canada Vein Clinics. GMCC
Never felt better
by Lori Brummell
Category: vein therapyOne year ago I got my various veins done. My legs have never felt better. It is expensive but well worth it.
Venaseal Treatment
by Francesco Giordano
Category: vein therapyMy varicose vein was so bad that my calf was almost double the size of the other one. After my Venaseal treatment with Dr. Matz, it has shrunk down to the same as the other one with some minor bruising as the only evidence left of the varicose vein. All the staff at the clinic were friendly and kind. Overall it was a great experience.
