Consultations and treatments are often covered by insurance with your physician’s referral.
About Varicose Leg Veins
Leg veins are blood vessels that contain valves that keep blood flowing up the legs and back to the heart. When the valves are damaged or leaky:
- Backwards flow can develop, causing blood to pool in the legs
- This causes pressure to increase in the veins
- The result is bulging, uncomfortable varicose veins
This process is called venous insufficiency or venous reflux. Symptoms include:
- Pain and discomfort in the leg
- Leg fatigue or heaviness
- Aching, throbbing, and/or itching
- Night calf cramps
If you have varicose veins, you are not alone. Up to 40% of women and 25% of men experience some form of venous insufficiency.
The Importance of Early Treatment
Without treatment, venous insufficiency may worsen over time. It eventually can cause more serious conditions including:
- Leg swelling (edema)
- Skin changes such as discoloration and inflammation
- Blood clots
- Bleeding
- Leg ulcers
