Does varicose vein physical therapy work?

Physical therapy for varicose veins has a role to play, including compression therapy using elastic medical stockings or the use of air pressure waves to promote venous return, both of which can reduce varicose veins to some degree or delay the progression of varicose veins, but their treatment is conservative and cannot completely cure the disease. To completely cure varicose veins, surgical treatment is also required. If the patient’s state is not suitable for surgery and conservative treatment is needed, physical therapy and medication should be used together. Medication mainly includes drugs that improve valve function and increase the elastic fiber layer of the veins, such as two kinds of drugs, such as Avalanche or Mizarin, which are taken orally for a long time.
