Varicose Veins Diminish Your Athletic Performance.

Vein911® Vein Treatment Centers award-winning vein care specialist, Christopher Pittman, M.D., FAVLS, FACR is the founder of VenaThrive®. This is more than just a procedure. It’s a unique combination of techniques with proven medical and cosmetic outcomes available exclusively at Vein911® Vein Treatment Centers.

Vein911® Vein Treatment Centers has successfully treated professional and elite athletes helping them to reach peak athletic performance.

Varicose veins cause increased pressure in your leg veins leading to symptoms that may impair your performance. Veins also dilate during exercise increasing the volume of venous blood pooling in the legs leading to decreased venous return to the heart and further decreasing athletic performance in athletes with varicose veins.

People who have varicose veins may think they have no symptoms.

Athletes with varicose vein related symptoms also may not have any visible varicose veins.

Elite athletes wear compression socks because scientific studies have shown compression socks:

  • Reduce blood lactate concentration during maximal exercise and enhance lactate removal and subsequent exercise performance
  • Increases performance parameters at different metabolic stages during an all-out task
  • Reduce muscle oscillation upon ground contact (especially valuable in sprinting and jumping)
  • Increase torque generated about joints and reduce risk of injury
  • Reduce effects of delayed onset muscle soreness in the days following strenuous exercise
