As with any medical condition, chronic venous insufficiency should initially be treated as conservatively as possible to alleviate pain, discomfort, itching, swelling, restless legs, and other undesirable symptoms. During your first visit with Dr. Siragusa, he will discuss all your options for conservative therapy. Some examples of conservative therapy include: wearing compression stockings, exercising, properly elevating your legs, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, losing weight when indicated, taking anti-inflammatory pain medication, and rest.
