Symptoms of Venous Disease

Symptoms of venous disease may include:

  • Blood clots
  • Burning or itching skin
  • Heavy, tired or restless legs
  • Leg cramps
  • Leg pain or swelling
  • Neuropathy (damage to the nerves that causes weakness, numbness, and pain)
  • Open ulcers on legs
  • Restless Leg Syndrome
  • Skin discolorations

The most common types of venous diseases we treat are spider veins and varicose veins. Spider veins are clusters of red or purple thread-like veins just under the skin. Varicose veins are bulging, rope-like veins that usually get larger over time.

Treatment for Venous Disease

Venous disease can be treated with a minimally invasive procedure called endovenous thermal ablation. During this procedure, a catheter is inserted into the diseased vein using a tiny incision. Heat is applied to the vein wall, causing it to close. The body then naturally re-routes the blood through other healthy veins.

Because the procedure is done under local anesthetic, you likely will be up and walking immediately after the procedure and return to normal activities the same day. Most people notice immediate relief of symptoms. Most major insurance companies, including Medicare, cover this procedure.
