Lifestyle
Leg Elevation
for Varicose Veins
Elevating legs above heart level for 15–30 minutes several times daily, particularly after prolonged standing or sitting.
How it works
Gravity assists venous return when legs are elevated, reducing the hydrostatic pressure in lower leg veins and decreasing swelling and discomfort.
What to watch for
Most effective for symptom relief rather than treating underlying vein damage. Best used alongside compression and movement.
