Tips to keep your legs healthy while traveling With the arrival of spring and summer, many people’s thoughts turn to travel. But long-distance travel often means long hours confined to an airplane or car seat, which can lead to sluggish circulation and potentially serious problems, such as blood clots. If you are planning a long-awaited vacation or if a business trip is coming up for you soon, there are some important things you should know before you go. Studies show that the risk for developing a blood clot during a long-distance flight is between 3% and 12%[1]. And you don’t have to have varicose veins or venous insufficiency – even people with healthy circulation are at increased risk[1].

Schedule a Consultation to Address the Symptoms Have you ever had sensations in your legs that made you feel like you just had to move them? It’s possible you are suffering from restless leg syndrome (RLS), otherwise known as Willis-Ekbom Disease. This disorder can disrupt sleep and cause you to be exhausted and groggy during daylight hours. It can affect your concentration, job or school performance, personal relationships, memory, and mood. Estimates show that up to 10% of people in the U.S. are suffering from RLS, with women more likely than men to develop it.[1] Vein disease can occur at any age. However, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the worst cases are seen among the middle-aged population.
