Leg Health and Treatment

Researchers estimate that more than 50% of women and 40% of men will suffer from some sort of vein disorder of the legs during their lifetime. These leg disorders can range from simple swelling or tired achy legs to more severe problems such as deep vein thrombosis or varicose veins.

To help maintain the health of your leg veins, doctors recommend three easy actions:
  • Exercise
  • Elevation
  • Wearing graduated compression hosiery
