“I had no idea that it wasn’t
just a cosmetic problem or
that my legs would
feel so much better!”
W
e hear it all the time from our patients: “Doctor, my
legs ache. They feel heavy and tired at the end of the
day. They itch and burn and swell, especially when I’ve
been on my feet all day.” Having treated patients with venous
insufficiency for more than 30 years, we have heard these
same complaints from thousands of patients. In addition
to having these symptoms, what so many of these patients
have in common is that they don’t realize that most, if not all, of
these symptoms are caused by their varicose and spider veins.
In many cases, they have already turned to their family doctors
or other specialists, looking for relief of these symptoms, only
to be told that the problem is orthopedic, or neurologic, or in
many cases that there is no cure for their symptoms and that they
just have to put up with them. Many of these same patients have
also sought out treatment for their visible leg veins, only to be
told that it is merely a cosmetic problem, not medical, and that
insurance won’t cover the treatment.
By the time many of these patients come to see us, they are
shocked to find out, first of all, that something CAN be done for
the surface veins that they are unhappy about. Secondly, treating
these veins will likely bring them a significant degree of relief
from the discomfort that bothers them on a daily basis. And
finally, the biggest surprise of all is that the majority of insurance
carriers do cover the treatments that are available.
This Industry Insight was provided by Circulatory Centers. They have specialized in the
treatment of vein issues and vein disease for over 30 years.
Their board-certified doctors and vascular surgeons are experts in diagnosing and treating
circulatory issues caused by veins dysfunction. Circulatory Centers are the vein treatment
provider doctors recommend most. For more information, visit www.VeinHealth.com or call

W
ith over 35 years of experience specializing in only the
treatment of leg veins, Circulatory Centers is one of
the most experienced vein treatment centers in the
nation. We begin with a thorough examination of the legs with
ultrasound to evaluate the entire venous system. After this, a
combination of endovenous laser ablation and sclerotherapy—
customized to each patient’s individual needs—is used to rid the
patients of their troublesome veins and the symptoms that they
cause. Both of these procedures are performed in the office with
no general anesthesia or down time required.
Our treatment options, combined with compression stocking
therapy, allow patients to find the relief they seek from the
symptoms while still giving them a great cosmetic result. We offer
no-charge office consultations that can give you more detailed
and individualized information about our treatments,
and can get you started on the way to having legs that feel
and look better!
