How to Find a Vein Specialist Near Me
Do you suffer from swollen, painful varicose veins or experience aching, cramping, itching, or feelings of heaviness in the legs? In that case, you might have a vein condition called chronic venous insufficiency, otherwise known as vein disease.
What should you do if you are one of the millions of Americans struggling with vein disease? The answer: find a vein specialist near you.
While convenience to your home or work is a consideration, there’s more to choosing the best vein doctor. Read on to learn what vein disease is and five tips for finding the best vein specialist near you.
What is vein disease?
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), sometimes referred to as venous disease or varicose vein disease, is a common yet often overlooked condition. According to the AHA Journal “Circulation,” more than 25 million adults in the United States experience vein disease, including varicose and spider veins, with more than six million suffering from advanced venous diseases, such as deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous ulcers.
Caused by defective valves in the leg veins that allow blood to stagnate or flow backward (reflux), both sexes are susceptible, although women are affected twice as often as men. Chances are good that you or someone you know needs the services of a vein doctor or vascular surgeon.
The following are tips for finding the best vein specialist near you:
Search for a board-certified vein specialist
While any physician can say that they can remedy varicose veins, you are best served by a vein disease expert who offers the many advanced, minimally invasive treatment options available to provide relief quickly and safely. Ask about the doctor’s qualifications: Do they have special training or certifications in outpatient vein treatment? How long have they been treating vein disease? Do they offer a duplex ultrasound in the office, or will I have to make a separate trip for this vital diagnostic tool?
Your initial visit to Center for Vein Restoration includes a thorough health review and ultrasound in the office. You will leave with a complete understanding of the cause of your vein conditions and treatment options
