Conservative vein therapy refers to a non-invasive form of treatment whereby medications and surgical options are not used to treat varicose veins. Patients with varicose veins may increase their daily walking & exercise, achieve weight loss, avoid high heels, and wear compression stockings. Historically, both health care providers and insurers have recommended a trial period of conservative vein therapy before proceeding with definitive vein care. Conservative vein therapy is beneficial in reducing varicose vein symptoms and slowing the progression of chronic venous disease. However, conservative vein therapy will neither prevent nor eliminate the condition of varicose veins.
