Varicose Veins of the Leg- Best Treatment Options!
The newest treatment of vaicose veins in the leg is…Glue!
Yes- you literally glue the vein shut.
- No heat
- No anesthesia
- No hospital
- Safe and 97% effective!
Glue has been used for dozens of years in the human body. Even for areas as delicate as the human brain, for the treatment of aneurysms, and area you definitely don’t want to come ‘unglued’.
Now it is available at Beaver Valley Foot Clinic’s Advanced Vein Center.
Multiple veins can be done at one time, and the best part is there is NO need to wear compression stockings afterwards to enhance closure of the vein.
Most vein procedures are covered by insurance after a doppler ultrasound vein mapping to ascertain medical necessity. If the physician finds a venous disease then procedures are covered by most plans. Conservative methods like compression stockings should be tried first, but they are usually not corrective and vein disease is a slowly advancing process that just gets worse the longer you delay treatment
At the Advanced Vein Center, Pittsburgh area locations, only a Board Certified Registered Vascular Technician will map the veins in your leg. Then after your private consultation with our Board Certified Surgeons, specializing in the treatment of Varicose veins, a personal treatment plan is ‘mapped out’ just for you, depending on what your ultrasound shows and what your concerns are.
Say goodbye to:
- tired achy legs
- charlie horses
- restless leg syndrome
- swelling of the feet and ankles
- ropey blue veins on your legs…and much more!
Can varicose veins appear in places other than the legs?
Yes, although Legs are the most common places for varicose veins to be developed because of pressure put on legs while standing or sitting for too long, there are some other places where you can develop these annoying veins. These different areas can even have different causes, so here’s some info about them:
- Pelvic Area: Varicose veins in Pelvic areas can happen and they are known as pelvic congestion syndrome. These type of varicose veins are more common in women than men, especially because of pregnancy as there are hormonal imbalances and improper blood circulation in the body.
- Rectum and Anus: varicose veins at rectum or anus area are also known as hemorrhoids, they can be caused because of diarrhea, constipation, pregnancy, prolonged sitting, aging or genetics.
- Esophagus: Esophageal varices are varicose veins that can appear on your Esophagus, this is often a result of liver disease.
- Scrotum: Varicose veins in scrotum are known as Varicoceles, these are caused by the enlargement of Scrotum, specifically the pampiniform plexus. Other factors can include things like valve malfunctions, anatomical factors, genetics and hormonal imbalances.
Can alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage help with varicose veins?
Alternative therapies like acupuncture and massage may provide some relief for symptoms associated with varicose veins, but they are not likely to cure or significantly reduce the veins themselves. Here’s how these therapies might help:
- Acupuncture:
– Improved Blood Flow: Acupuncture may help improve blood circulation and reduce pressure in the veins, potentially alleviating some discomfort and swelling.
– Pain Relief: Acupuncture is known for its pain-relieving effects, which can help manage the pain associated with varicose veins.
- Massage:
– Enhanced Circulation: Gentle massage can improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the affected areas. However, it should be done carefully to avoid putting too much pressure on the varicose veins.
