FAQ: "Does Crossing Your Legs Cause Varicose Veins?"

🦵Here’s the truth: crossing your legs doesn’t cause varicose veins. What actually leads to vein disease is a mix of genetics, age, weight, hormones, and lifestyle factors like inactivity or prolonged standing.

💡However, there’s a reason this myth lingers. Sitting cross-legged for long periods can make things worse if you already have circulation issues. It can slow down blood flow and increase pressure in your leg veins. Over time, that added strain can weaken the tiny valves that keep blood moving in the right direction causing blood to pool and veins to bulge.

At Medical Vein Clinic, we help patients identify what’s truly behind their vein issues and create personalized treatment plans that restore healthy circulation and confidence.

❗If your legs feel heavy, achy, or swollen, or if varicose veins run in your family, it’s time for a checkup.

Schedule your screening today and take the first step toward healthier legs that keep you moving.

Are Your Restless Legs Keeping You Up at Night?

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) can feel like an endless cycle of discomfort and sleepless nights. The good news is there are practical ways to ease symptoms and, in some cases, prevent them from getting worse.

💡Here are simple steps that can make a big difference:

➡️ Get moving. Regular walking or light exercise improves circulation and reduces symptoms.

➡️ Support your veins. Elevate your legs, wear compression stockings if advised, and maintain a healthy weight.

➡️ Improve sleep habits. Stick to a consistent bedtime and limit caffeine, alcohol, and ni****ne.

➡️ Manage underlying conditions. Issues like vein disease, diabetes, or low iron can contribute to RLS.

➡️ Relax before bed. Try stretching, warm baths, or leg massages to calm your muscles.

If your restless legs continue to disrupt your sleep, it may be time to look deeper. Our team at Medical Vein Clinic can determine whether vein disease is playing a role and help you find lasting relief.

Today, we honor the men and women who carried the weight of service on their shoulders --and often on their legs. Veterans face higher rates of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a serious circulation issue that can lead to pain, slow-healing wounds, or even amputation if left untreated.

Recent research from the Veterans Administration shows that:

➡️ Veterans are nearly twice as likely to develop PAD compared to non-veterans.

➡️ 1 in 2 veterans diagnosed with PAD also lives with diabetes or high blood pressure.

➡️ The risk is even higher for those who have smoked or endured physical strain during service.

At Medical Vein Clinic, we’re proud to serve those who served us. Our team uses advanced ultrasound technology to detect circulation problems early, before they become life-threatening. With personalized treatment plans, we help veterans regain strength, mobility, and freedom from leg pain.

If you or a veteran you love experiences aching legs, numbness, or slow-healing wounds, schedule a screening today. Your legs carried you through service. Let us help carry you toward recovery.

To all the veterans who have served so bravely, we are grateful to you. Thank you for your sacrifice and your service.

Some of the most overlooked warning signs of vascular disease are subtle, progress slowly, and are often mistaken for normal aging or fatigue. Here are key signs patients (and sometimes even providers) tend to miss:

⚠️Aching or heaviness in the legs after standing or sitting

⚠️Nighttime cramps or restless legs

⚠️Cold, pale, or bluish feet and toes

⚠️Numbness or tingling

⚠️Slow-healing wounds or skin that changes color or texture

⚠️Swelling around the ankles or visible veins

⚠️Fatigue when walking short distances

What’s easy to brush off as “just getting older” may actually be poor circulation.

At Medical Vein Clinic, our board-certified team use advanced imaging to catch vascular disease early, before it limits your life or mobility.

👉 Don’t ignore what your legs are telling you. Schedule a vein and circulation screening today. Call our office for a screening 210-622-8000

Compression stockings do more than ease tired legs, they’re a powerful tool for better circulation and prevention.

🩸 For Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): They help support blood flow by gently squeezing the legs, encouraging oxygen-rich blood to move upward and reducing swelling and discomfort.

🩺 For Blood Clots (DVT): Compression therapy can lower the risk of deep vein thrombosis by keeping blood from pooling in the lower legs during long periods of sitting or standing.

👉Compression stockings come in different grades (or pressure levels), measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury). The right level depends on your condition, circulation, and medical history.

Healthy veins mean stronger legs, and a longer, more active life.

: The Cost of Ignoring the Signs

Every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. loses a limb due to diabetes complications.
But with early diagnosis and proper vein and artery care, most amputations are preventable.

Sitting is the new smoking. 💺 Your veins were made for movement.🏃‍♂️
Did you know? Women sitting 11.7 hours daily face 30% higher mortality risk than those at 8 hours. Two decades of sedentary living doubles the risk of premature death. These are alarming numbers.

❗Movement literally can be life-saving. It's not just a matter of looking good and losing weight. Movement is literally life-saving. Your veins and circulation need movement to thrive.

At Medical Vein Clinic, we combine cutting-edge treatment with lifestyle strategies to keep your vascular system healthy for life. 🩺

Did You Know:
Boosting your daily activity can add up to 5+ extra years of life. You don't have to become a workout queen or king, it all can just start with walking more.

🚶‍♀️ The most active adults walk 160 minutes a day (about 12,800 steps).

🕒 Even adding 111 minutes daily can add up to 11 years to your life.

❤️ Walking supports circulation, mobility, bone strength, mood, and brain health--and helps prevent vein disease.

✅ The good news: You can break it up throughout the day.

How to Fit It In:

🏃‍♂️10–15 minutes before breakfast

👟10 minutes mid-morning (walk while on a call)

🏃‍♂️15 minutes after lunch

👟10–20 minutes in the afternoon

🏃‍♂️20–30 minutes after dinner

❗Park farther away, take stairs, or walk the dog an extra block. 🐩🐾

Every small walk adds up to stronger legs, better circulation, and a longer, more active life. It's a simple plan but not always easy to break habits of a sedentary lifestyle. 🏋️‍♂️But just think, adding 5 extra years, or any extra years, just by taking little walks seems worth the discomfort of leaving behind old habits.
