Walking = No vascular problems

RIVEA Vascular Institute | 15 July 2025

Is walking enough to prevent vascular complications?

Watch Dr. Karthik Mikkineni explain why walking alone isn’t always enough. Regular exercise supports circulation, but factors like diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, and family history can silently damage your blood vessels over time leading to vascular disease.

Vascular disease can affect blood flow to the legs, kidneys, or other organs, causing symptoms like pain, cramps, numbness, or non-healing wounds. Left untreated, it can result in serious complications.

At RIVEA Vascular Institute, we specialize in early detection and minimally invasive treatments that restore healthy circulation, relieve symptoms, and help prevent long-term damage.
