The
goal of any treatment or care is to improve blood flow back up
to the heart. Elevate your legs while you are sitting and
exercise or walk every day. Medical treatment is not required for most varicose veins unless problems result, such as a deep-vein blood clot or severe bleeding which can be caused by injury to the vein.  Sclerotherapy is
used to treat smaller varicose veins. This is a minor
procedure where a chemical is injected into the veins and
results in the vein becoming scarred. This forces the blood to
detour to healthier veins. The doctor might place an elastic
stocking around the treated leg to reduce bruising and
bleeding. The risks of sclerotherapy are brown spots at the
injection site and clots in superficial veins. There may also
be a reaction to the injected chemical and new smaller veins
may form. Stripping or vein
removal is used to remove larger varicose veins. This is a
hospital procedure-requiring anesthesia. Parts of the vein are
removed or tied off, or the entire vein can be removed.
Swelling may occur and can last 6-8 weeks. The risks of
stripping are possible bruising, bleeding or formation of new
varicose veins.Self-Care Tips: To relieve and prevent varicose veins: Don't cross your
legs when sitting. Exercise
regularly. Walking is a good choice. It improves leg and vein
strength. Keep your weight
down. Avoid standing
for prolonged periods of time. If your job or hobby requires
you to stand, shift your weight from one leg to the other
every few minutes. Wear elastic
support stockings. Don't wear
clothing or undergarments that are tight or constrict your
waist, groin or legs. Eat high-fiber
foods like bran cereals, whole grain breads, and fresh fruits
and vegetables to promote regularity. (Constipation
contributes to varicose veins).
To prevent swelling, cut your salt intake. Exercise your
legs. This can be undertaken even if you have a sedentary desk
job. (From a sitting position, rotate your feet at the ankles,
turning them first clockwise, then counterclockwise, using a
circular motion. Next, extend your legs forward and point your
toes to the ceiling, then to the floor. Then, lift your feet
off the floor and gently bend your legs back and forth at the
knees). Elevate your legs
when resting.Get up and move about every 35 to 45 minutes when traveling by air or even when sitting in an all day conference. (Opt for an aisle seat in such situations). Stop and take
short walks at least every 45 minutes when taking long car
rides or limited exercise of your legs as advised previously. |

Posted on: 09/14/2007 Full-body pressure and circulation system is cardiovascular device that helps blood circulation and prevents blood clots or clogs.
Power-Q1000 promotes the circulation of blood and lymph in the disabled regions of the arms and legs, and increases the pressure of the muscular tissue by continuously repeating swelling and contraction with the 4-step gradual air pressure, thus curing edema and pain in the arms and legs and recovering the function of the limbs aged or disabled due to diseases.
The limbs pressure and circulation device is an instrument for the cardiovascular system, which prevents the pool or blockage of blood or blood circulation.
