Chronic Venous Insufficiency Treatment

Chronic Venous Insufficiency has been known since ancient times and Hippocrates used bandaging to treat it. It is better described as chronic peripheral venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency is treated conservatively with manual compression lymphatic massage therapy, skin lubrication, sequential compression pump, ankle pump, compression stockings, blood pressure medicine, frequent periods of rest elevating the legs above the heart level and using a 20 cm (7-inch) bed wedge during sleep.
