how do you treat venous stasis?

Get the blood moving: Venous stasis is sluggish flow due to venous insufficiency (valve damage) or calf muscle dysfunction due to bedrest, improper gait/footwear or injury.
Ambulation with good calf muscle contraction, enhanced by compression stockings and correcting the vein problem (varicose vein disease/insufficiency) also helps.
Those at risk for blood clots (heredity, surgery, malignancy) may need blood thinners.

Venous stasis: This is most often related to venous reflux.evaluation with venous Doppler sonogram will determine the source and then a treatment plan determined
In the interim would recommend support or compression stockings
