It is estimated that over 80 million Americans suffer from some form of venous or vein disorder. Varicose veins are enlarged distended veins that have widened due to weakness in the vein wall or due to a problem with the valves that control the flow of blood back to the heart. Spider veins are small red, blue or purple veins on the surface of the skin. Heredity is the main contributing factor causing varicose veins and spider veins. Other factors are hormonal changes in women, pregnancy, prolonged standing, and aging.

Vein disorder symptoms, often worse after prolonged standing, include pain, heaviness, fatigue, aching, throbbing, cramping, and even swelling of the legs.
