Vein Disease

Relief for aching, heavy legs

Vein Disease is caused by malfunctioning valves in the superficial veins of the legs, leading to heaviness, pain, and swelling after standing.

Diagram showing the cause of vein disease in the legs

We use noninvasive ultrasound to evaluate the veins in your legs to assess if they are "refluxing," which indicates malfunctioning valves. If you are diagnosed with Vein Disease, we will recommend compression stockings, elevation, and exercise.

Should you continue to have symptoms after trying these noninvasive measures, we may recommend venous intervention to improve your quality of life. These treatments are minimally invasive, require very little downtime, and are covered by most insurance plans.

Take the vein assessment

Symptoms

  • Aching
  • Restless legs
  • Fatigue
  • Itching
  • Burning
  • Swelling
  • Cramping
  • Throbbing
  • Large, bulging, rope-like appearance
  • Discoloration

Evaluation

If you are experiencing symptoms associated with Vein Disease, call our office to schedule an evaluation. Our Registered Vein Sonographer, Coley Andrews, will use venous ultrasound to help determine whether you may have this condition. She, along with Dr. Citrin, will then recommend treatment options depending on the severity of your case.

Treatments

Vein Disease is treated by minimally invasive procedures. Insufficient veins are sealed off so blood is rerouted into healthier pathways.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
A small catheter seals the vein under ultrasound guidance in about 30 minutes. Blood flow is diverted into healthy veins and circulation improves.
Varithena (Sclerotherapy)
An injectable foam that treats branches of larger varicose veins with no incision, collapsing the vein walls and redirecting blood to healthy veins.
