title: [Conservative therapy of chronic venous insufficiency].
abstract: Chronic venous insufficiency is frequent and burdened with potentially serious consequences. Its conservative treatment should include physical and pharmacological measures. Compression therapy is mandatory. In addition physical therapy offers mainly positioning, exercise and water treatments. Several oral drugs have been shown to be effective as well. Finally life style adaptation must not be forgotten.
