How Poor Venous Circulation Affects Your Legs (And What to Do About It)
Your body’s circulation is similar to the plumbing in your house, with fresh incoming water pipes (arteries) and outgoing sewer lines (veins). Poor venous circulation can lead to uncomfortable and even serious leg problems, including varicose veins, swelling, and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This blog by Dr. Zoe Deol explains how the venous system works, what happens when it becomes compromised, and the steps you can take to improve circulation. Learn about early warning signs, lifestyle changes, and modern vein treatments that can restore healthy blood flow and prevent complications like venous ulcers and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Why “Grounding Technology” Won’t Cure Varicose Veins
Grounding mats may be marketed as a quick fix for varicose veins, but the science simply doesn’t support their claims. Varicose veins result from faulty vein valves, not poor circulation or weak calf muscles, meaning only medically proven treatments can effectively address the root cause. At Center for Vein Restoration, our board-certified vein specialists offer advanced, minimally invasive procedures that provide lasting relief—schedule a consultation today to get expert care for your vein health.
What is Caput Medusae? Is it the Cause of My Varicose Veins?

This blog breaks down the key differences, symptoms, and treatment options, providing expert insights from Center for Vein Restoration. If you’re experiencing leg pain, swelling, or visible veins, CVR’s board-certified vein specialists offer customized, minimally invasive treatments to restore healthy circulation.
