- Varicose veins & spider veins are often caused by poor circulation in your legs and feet. In this video, I'll show several treatments that can help prevent them. Buy the JOMI thigh high compression hose here: jomicompression.com?
Ankle pumps and seated heel/toe raises do a great job of increasing the circulation to your legs and increase oxygen to your blood so they can help prevent varicose and spider veins. They are also easy to do almost anywhere.
Another great treatment is Compression stockings, hose, or socks. The folks at JOMI Compression have several different sizes and colors. Their thigh high compression hose are a great option to help prevent varicose and spider veins, as well as prevent DVTs and help with muscle fatigue.
Now for standing exercises and stretches. The runner’s stretch stretches the calf muscles and Achilles tendon. Heel raises and single leg raises not only do a great job to increase circulation, but they also do a great job of strengthening the legs.
Finally, a squat or modified squat is a great exercise as well.

Really appreciate a doctor who is probably in the 1% of all doctors who actually care about prevention.
God bless you Doctor! You're the first person that has say anything about how we can prevent varicose veins. Most Doctors I met only talked about how they're there and that's it. You're the first person I heard that gives some hope that through exercises at least something can be done. 🙏
Hello Dr. Jo, thank you for sharing this fine video. You offered some great suggestions. Keep those great videos coming. 🤗
You're welcome, and thanks!
I’ve been struggling with piriformis syndrome and had a really bad vein popping out that ran from my thigh down my leg, did this everyday for 3 weeks along with some piriformis stretches and THANK YOU SO MUCH. Im going to keep this stretch in my daily routine.
You're welcome.
I saw another video saying squats is bad for varicose veins but i rather believe in what you’re saying 😁👍🏻
I’m ab active person and I’ve noticed the spider veins since I was 25 years old and now I’m 33 and I can’t believe this is happening to me at a young age 😢
Genetics?
I'm 21 and I have spider veins(small amount). I think it's genetic.
I'm 24 and going through the same my is down near my ankle how are you traveling with your spider veins are they growing
@@maceyr.6583 i'm 22 and yes, my dad had those veins and i got them from him even when i was rather young. it is from genetics sometimes🥲
Always great to watch. Very easy & meaningful work out. Looking for yours further videos. Great job.
Thanks!
Thanks. Started doing all and useful.
You're welcome.
super helpful!
Hey just wanted to say you rock and you've helped so much. I followed your videos for a while and messaged you about really bad siatica, judt wanted to tell you I've had no pain or irritation for 3 months now after using your videos and adding the stretches to my daily routine, you're awesome, thank you so much. You have no idea how much you helped me, I'd been to several doctors, surgeries, chiropractors and no results but after using your training I've been sciatica free for 3 months strong now
Thank you, and you're welcome!! I'm glad you are feeling better.
My son told me about Dr. Jo. I am now a full-fledged addict! Thank you Dr. Jo. You are great!!!
You're welcome, and thanks!
Dr jo you are great
Great tips!
Thanks!
Thank you so much
Mine it's really painful and thank you for making this video it helps a lot to learn
You're welcome.
I believe I developed spider veins at a nail salon when the nail tech was deep massaging my lower leg using a lot of pressure, to the point where it hurt badly. I was about 55 years old at the time. My patch of spider veins are located on my right lower leg (1 leg only) and are located about 2 inches below my knee.
Questions:
1). I was wondering, do I need to still wear two compression stockings if I only have spider veins on 1 leg?
2). Could I wear the knee high stockings (which I prefer) based on where my spider veins are? Thank you for posting this useful video, we so appreciate the info!!
Thank you so much for your video
I did your first exercise and it did helped to release the pain . I feel so good now . It worked like a miracle. God bless you
You're welcome.
Thanks for the lessons on prevention but how can we help someone who is already in pain?
Hello Doctor Jo, does weight lifting, barbell and deadlifts, increase varicose veins? How about using bands?
How long do you wear compression? And is it safe to workout in them>?
Thanks Jo!
You're welcome!
Hello Doc. I want to know if doing those exercises will treat spider veins on my thighs please
Is it ok to run, do lunges, squats and workout with resistance bands if I have varicose veins? I do wear stockings .
Thank you Dr. Jo
You're welcome.
Thank you, I'll definitely start using these exercises. So easy to do while sitting down. Are there any specific exercises for venous insufficiency in a thigh? Also, would tight compression sleeve be helpful, or are compression tights more suitable?
You're welcome. I don't have a video specifically for that, but these might help. Check with your doctor about compression to make sure you get the right amount of compression for what you need.
Thanks for sharing this information t
You're welcome.

Can these exercises replace any of these different types of treatments out there ? Do they only prevent future varicose veins or could they treat existing ones

Thanks, Doc Jo.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much❤️
You're welcome.
I wear compression hose and I use a product to help keep them up.
I have a little ones on the back of my leg thigh area. How can I get rid of them before they get bad and become really visible
Do exrercises
Thanks❤
You're welcome.
Would a vibrating foot massager help too?
Thank you so much doctor. I'm 18 now & I have recently noticed pain in my legs. Can I get rid of it completely by doing this excercise
But I don't get pain instead itchy feeling... Is this something to deal with varicose veins ?!
How are you traveling with your veins I'm young as well and going through the same thing
Bicycling would help too?
Very well explained. Thank you. Luv from India
Thanks, and you're welcome.
Doc! Is there any exercise we should avoide doing with these veins?

@@jc31312jch same!
thank you
You're welcome.
Love you Doctor Jo. I have suffered with various veins for a very long time.
I hope these help.
How are you traveling now with your veins
@@Matt-zz7hp honestly, I don't do much traveling, lol. But, if I was to travel for a long period of time, I'd wear my compression stockings. Trying to exercise regularly helps too.
Do you have any spider veins near your ankle I have heaps and was wondering if you was good. Through the same
@@Matt-zz7hp I have some spider veins,but not heaps. I've also been to a vascular surgeon for some treatments. I'd recommend that for you if you are having some pain and discomfort.
Thank you Doctor for ur valuable information about varicose vain 👌👍🙏
You're welcome.
Thanqqq so much Dr Jo
You're wlecome.
Hey doctor joe! My foot is showing a lot of veins and 2 are popping out. One of them hurts sometimes when I stand. I don’t know if it’s varicose veins. They are all blue too.

This is great info. What if you already have varicose veins? Is this only to prevent new ones from developing or is this to lessen the effects of the existing ones?
Thanks. They should help lessen them as well.
Hey Dr Jo .Great job ❤

Thank you Dr.Jo.
You're welcome.
Dr just tell me if this excercise would help also for arthritic issue n bit of vericose starting stage.
Thanks for sharing! How much?
You're welcome! Therapeutic exercises can be done every day.
I am suffar this vericose eczema may be 5 year, how can recover like this trips follow, Needed any medicine from bangladesh.
i started noticing varicose veins when i exercise by squating too much,
Dear Jo, can I exercise on a home crosstrainer with varicose and spider veins?
Started getting spider veins in my teens lol.... uh... yeah I was lazy and overweight.
Thnx
You're welcome.
How much and how to buy that's stockings
I just orders some of these thigh scokings just what I need can't wait to try them thanks Dr
You're welcome.
I already have a few is it possible to completely remove them? I'm in my twenties .
If you do this does it get rid of little spider veins that you already have? I'm starting to see tiny just a few spider veins and want to work now to get rid of them and prevent them
Yes. I also have few. Want to know from doctor if we can get rid of spider veins by doing exercise mentioned in your above video. Or please share some other video link please.
What about walking,? Or Jog
I walk about 4 1/2 miles a day, are used to hike quite a bit. I’m 56, but I’m starting to notice varicose veins. I don’t unders I do sit a lot, but I want to walk every day by mile.
Is there anyway to prevent this further, will more exercise help
You look so cute with your socks lol!👍 I am actually in the UK but I have saved this and the other vein one to my exercise list and I have ordered a pair of thigh highs locally to help with that ache when I go for walks. I try to do at least 90 mins brisk walk daily (or I did before I slipped up, but doing those squats and leg raises were ok as its only been a fortnight that I lapsed for..the thought of DVT has given me the impetus to get going again!) Thank you again for giving me the kick in the butt required to get me going again! ( yeah I keep my toes up when I squat and my knees in line with my feet..not over them and can still do 30 slow so its not as bad as I thought. I also did some resistance glute band stuff in between so my resps and heart rate are up. I am 63 btw and cut out gluten and dairy in August and didnt slip on that despite the panic attacks stopping me going out a while...I have a gym bike and will carry on doing 40 mins on that at high resistance and 30-45 cardio/hiit or resistance band stuff as well if I dont walk).
Thanks 😎
Definitely
Stockings are great but what yo do in summer time.?
C. van den Berg I wear cotton blend compression socks to hike in the summer. They thicker than nylon, but more breathable.
Prevent is OK but can you delete them when you have them without surgery ?
Dr,jo can u suggest me
Can i wear stockings while long walking
Hello Dr can u pls help me I have so much pain and I use elastic bandage and ginger oil but no relief
Dr Jo how can you get them
Can a severe vericous vains patient can do 1 or 2 exercise from the above...?
Like the ones you showed on chair...?
I've started developing spider veins but on my arms and there's no explanation anywhere. Is there a reason behind this? There's a small patch on my left arm and it looks like it's just about to commence on my right arm but I'm always using my arms. Is there a reason behind this or is it just a genetic?
I also have it a bit on my thighs which makes no sense as I usually do minimum 25k steps a week (used to be about double out of lockdown) and I sim race so when constantly hitting the clutch, accelerate and brake would help with the circulation as its the exact same motion and I do it about 80 times every lap because of the clutch kick. A lot of it doesn't make all that much sense to me :(
Hi doctor jo i have vericose veins side to my right leg like clot type is it serious and some times i feel pain up to my thigh pls give suggestion mam.
my left ankle cracks every time i extend the toes downward during an ankle pump what does that mean?
Hi, can I wear my compression knee highs while doing the exercises? How long during the day can I wear the compression knee highs? Thanks and I luv the exercises.
Thanks! They can be worn during exercises. It's different for everyone as to how long to wear them depending on what you are wearing them for and how severe it is. So that would be a better question to ask your doctor.
@@AskDoctorJo Thanks for the response. I don't currently have a doc I trust for my veins. I only have 2 varicose veins but many spider veins on and around my fee that are ugly and make me feel self conscious. I will use my common sense as far as how long to wear the compression knee hi's. Luv the exercises and do them with u every day and the ones that can be done often I do throughout the day.
You're welcome. Good luck.
Wondering what your progress is a year later.
I am in ambulatory medicine. I would NEVER put my face out there with medical information, now knowing what I know about the general public.They are vicious and you are brave.
Good day Dr. Jo!... watching from the Philippines... can I ask if how can we do it in a daily basis?.... thank you....
It depends on what stage of recovery you are in and how your body reacts to treatment, but in general, therapeutic exercises can be done 1-3 times a day, every day.
