Acupuncture for Varicose Veins is not a common presentation in many Acupuncture clinics, though it responds excellently to treatment. For the most part varicose veins are seen as a mild irritant rather than a serious medical condition and the chief concern is primarily cosmetic rather than health related.
Varicose veins occur as a result of a weakening and inefficiency of the valve system that moves blood through the body. As a result blood pools in the veins leading to congestion and distention. This is particularly common in pregnancy as there is an increased blood supply with the growing baby and of course additional pressure placed on the pelvic blood vessels. Acupuncture for Pregnancy and Varicose Veins is excellent for relieving such conditions.
