INDUSTRY INSIGHT Your Health LEG VEINS... SPONSORED CONTENT “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 1-800-426-9601. 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!
