Valves close behind each push.
With every step, your calf muscles help move blood upward toward your heart. One-way valves open to let blood pass, then close to prevent it from flowing backward.

Healthy Vein vs Incompetent Vein
Tiny one-way valves keep blood moving up toward your heart. When they weaken, blood slips back down, pools, and stretches the vein.
Blood slips back and pools.
When vein valves do not close properly, blood can flow backward and pool in the leg. Over time, the extra pressure can cause the vein to enlarge, twist, and ache.
Flow reroutes to healthy veins.
We seal the diseased vein, allowing blood to reroute through nearby healthy veins.
