You’ve Got Vein Treatment Options!
Not only are varicose and spider veins unsightly, but they can be painful and bothersome too. Varicose veins are swollen veins in the legs. Symptoms can include bruising, heavy legs, itching, and swelling. People often have a common misconception that vein treatment is painful and maybe even ineffective. However, with the advances in medical science, this just isn’t true. There are many option for taking care of your legs and treating varicose veins. A trip to the El Paso Varicose Veins Laser Clinic can set you on the path to recovery.
Minimizing Discomfort
There are many lifestyle changes and self care treatments that you can do to minimize the painful symptoms of varicose veins. Regular exercise is a great way to get the circulation in your legs going again. Even a 30 minute walk or using an exercise bike can make a great deal of difference. Tight clothing around the waist and groin can constrict blood flow to the legs. There are also certain career fields that require excess sitting or standing, both of which can cause poor circulation in the legs. If you have a desk job and find yourself sitting for the majority of the day, be sure take 10 minute walking breaks. If you work as a nurse or in other jobs in which you stand a lot, elevating your feet at the end of the day can be a big help.
Compression Stockings
Compression stockings are tight fitting garments that aid in healthy blood flow. The pressure that they apply to the legs and ankles helps to support the veins for better functioning. They can aid in proper blood flow back to your heart without obstruction. They are also great to wear to aid recovery after receiving vein treatment.
Surgical Procedures
With the current medical advances efficient and effective vein treatment is very possible. There are several outpatient procedures that offer a very quick recovery. At El Paso Varicose Veins Laser Center, we offer sclerotherapy, ambulatory phlebectomy, and Endovenous Laser Ablation. A consultation can help determine which vein treatment is best for your condition.
