The Hoover Historical Society’s most successful project has been the log-by-log dismantling, relocation, and restoration of a traditional 1840s home called the Stinson Ole Place to the campus of Bluff Park Elementary School. Now known as the Folklore Center, it’s the oldest structure in the City of Hoover.

It seats 16,000 guests when fully expanded and offers ten private skyboxes, a patio overlooking the field, a banquet room, and a state-of-the-art sound system.

The adjacent RV park, tennis center, and outdoor field make Hoover Met Complex a versatile and indispensable characteristic of the city—and it’s less than nine miles from our vein clinic. Remember to check its event calendar before your visit!

Services at Center for Vein Restoration, Hoover (Birmingham)

Our board-certified vascular surgeons offer a wide range of innovative treatment options for leg pain, swelling, cramping, itching, varicose veins, spider veins, restless leg syndrome, ulcers, and other symptoms of vascular disease.

Symptoms of vein problems

When the tiny valves in your leg veins fail to circulate blood back to the heart it can be a sign of venous disease.

The result can be:

• Leg pain

• Itching

• Swelling

• Cramping

• Varicose veins

• Spider veins

• Feelings of heaviness

• Skin discoloration

• Ulcers

These symptoms are often the result of venous insufficiency and are unlikely to heal on their own. This common vein condition is progressive, meaning it will get worse without treatment.

Vein treatment options

Vein care providers at vein treatment clinics use the most advanced minimally invasive treatments available today. CVR’s modern outpatient treatment plans are far superior to the older vein-stripping methods used in the past.

Treatments include VenaSeal, a proprietary medical adhesive that safely closes off varicose veins, and ClariVein, a two-in-one approach that uses an ablation device to inject a sclerosing agent that closes the vein with a tiny rotating wire tip, which destroys the diseased vein.

At Center for Vein Restoration we offer a wide variety of other treatment options including:

• Sclerotherapy

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Endovenous laser ablation

• Ambulatory phlebectomy

Vein treatments take approximately an hour or less to complete, and patients can return to their normal routine immediately with few restrictions. No staples or stitches are required because a simple band-aid covers the tiny incisions. Our in-office treatment requires only local anesthetics and recovery and symptom relief are fast, and there is little to no scarring.
