At the Advanced Vein Center, we offer procedures that treat the problem at its source, which makes our treatments quicker, more effective and less painful than traditional methods.
Exercise is also important in compression therapy. Physical activity is a simple and effective method of improving vein health by pumping blood up the leg against the force of gravity. Keep in mind a weak
muscle won't pump as well as a strong one, so be sure to set a regular exercise program to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Although exercise is advised, high impact activities such as weight lifting should be avoided for 3 weeks after treatment.
Compression hose have been proven to be very effective when used for preventative care, during treatment, and for long-term therapy after treatment. Graduated compression prevents blood from pooling in the leg veins, thereby helping overall circulation. Compression is greatest at the ankle, gradually decreasing up the leg. There are many different styles, textures and colors for both men and women, so you can find the stockings that are best for you - and your recovery.
