Non traumatic.: Spider veins are due to many factors including hereditary, trauma, sun exposure and , in women, pregnancies. Frequently they are also due to an underlying valve insufficiency reflux) and this can only be seen on a venous reflux ultrasound. Non traumatic exercise such as biking, spinning and ellipticals are good for the veins but running and pounding of the legs on pavement or a treadmill is not.
