“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.
