It starts innocently enough, usually during pregnancy. And, chances are, you barely even notice. A varicose vein here and there. A little discoloration or swelling. Perhaps a tired, heavy feeling in your legs. Or minor pain, numbness or cramping. |

|
What it all adds up to is venous disease, insufficient blood flow from the legs back to the heart. Blood pools or congests in your legs. Undiagnosed or left untreated, the results can range from severe varicose veins and discoloration to sores, ulcers and potentially life-threatening blood clots. |

Thanks to compression therapy, however, venous disease in your family doesn’t have to mean venous disease in your future. |
