Swimming is an excellent low-impact exercise that can be beneficial for people with varicose veins. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins do not function correctly, causing blood to pool in the veins and leading to the formation of varicose veins. While swimming may not cure varicose veins, it can help to improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate some of the symptoms associated with varicose veins.
When you swim, your body is supported by water, which reduces the pressure on your legs and feet. This can help to improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the legs and feet, which are
common symptoms of varicose veins. Additionally, swimming is a low-impact exercise that puts minimal stress on the joints, making it an ideal form of exercise for people with varicose veins. Swimming can also help to strengthen the muscles in the legs, which can help to improve blood circulation. Stronger leg muscles can help to push blood through the veins more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of blood pooling in the veins and leading to the formation of varicose veins.
If you have varicose veins, it’s 
essential to speak with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. Your doctor can evaluate your condition and determine if swimming is a suitable form of exercise for you. They may also recommend compression stockings or other treatments to help alleviate the symptoms of varicose veins. At Canada Vein Clinics, we offer ELVT, ClariVein, Venaseal, and Sclerotherapy. During your consultation visit with our doctors, we will provide you with the best treatment plan for you.
Ultimately, swimming can be an effective form of exercise for people with varicose veins. It can help to improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and strengthen the muscles in the legs. However, it’s essential to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have a medical condition like varicose veins. With proper care and treatment, you can manage the symptoms of varicose veins and continue to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

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.
