1 in 4 Americans suffer from chronic venous insufficiency. Though common, it’s important to get vein disease treated early to avoid potentially dangerous complications.
There can be both physical and cosmetic symptoms of venous insufficiency. The most common of these include swelling, pain, and itchiness in the legs and ankles, as well as darkened and enlarged veins.
With advances in technology, varicose and spider veins can be treated with different types of minimally-invasive procedures. We offer the best of them here at Center for Vein Restoration.
Often resembling spider webs or thin tree branches, spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They can be red, purple, or blue in color, and usually appear on the legs, chest, or face. Though they rarely indicate a serious health problem, spider veins on the legs can cause uncomfortable sensations and are a sign of underlying venous reflux, or "hidden varicose veins."
Varicose veins are visible, swollen veins, which tend to develop in the calf and groin areas of the leg. Blood pools in the vein, forcing it to expand, resulting in a twisted or knotted appearance. Because of the increased pressure in the vein, varicose veins are more likely to cause serious aching or throbbing pain, especially after sitting or standing for a long period of time.
Venous insufficiency affects the lives of 1 in 4 Americans, yet it remains largely misunderstood and commonly misdiagnosed. We've come to accept many of the symptoms–such as leg pain and aches–as normal signs of aging. However, leg pain is anything but a sign of aging.
But we have good news. If your leg pain is in fact due to chronic venous insufficiency, it's going to be very treatable. And, we've made the first stage of diagnosing easy with our self-assessment, so if you want to better understand your veins and whether or not they'll benefit from treatment, go ahead and start your assessment.
Always striving to give our patients the very best vein care experience, our treatments for chronic venous insufficiency take less than an hour and, afterwards, our patients can go right back to normal activity with little or no pain. All Center for Vein Restoration treatments are simple, office-based outpatient procedures, providing a level of safety and reliability only possible with the experience and expertise of our vein specialists.
Feeling better begins with a call to our Patient Service Specialists. They'll address all your questions and help put your mind at ease. Call 240-965-3915 to schedule a consultation.
Although almost all of our medically necessary vein procedures are covered by insurance providers, some providers don't cover cosmetic vein treatments.
For medically necessary procedures, our team of insurance specialists work directly with your provider to make sure you get the very most from your plan's benefits.
