Varicose Veins

Varicose veins occur when valves within a vein are not working properly and interrupt blood from flowing back to the heart. These large, sometimes twisted, raised veins are usually found bulging from the leg’s surface. Varicose veins can be painful and ache, especially if you are standing for long periods of time. Sometimes varicose veins point to more serious circulatory problems or health issues.

Not all varicose vein sufferers have visible signs of problems on the surface of the skin, the veins can be hidden deep within the leg. While some people experience no symptoms, others suffer from pain, swollen legs, discoloration, leg fatigue, burning and restless legs.

Major treatments for varicose veins are radiofrequency ablation, phlebectomy and sclerotherapy – all procedures offered at Elite Vein Specialists. To discover which procedure is right for you or to see if you are possibly at risk for other circulatory problems, contact our medical team for a complimentary ultrasound screening.

Are varicose veins dangerous?

Untreated varicose veins can be dangerous because the blood that is pooling in these veins can clot. When varicose veins clot, the condition is called superficial phlebitis and it is usually very painful, but not necessarily dangerous.

When should I be concerned about varicose veins?

If a person has varicose veins, and has any of these symptoms and signs, see a health care professional. Inflammation, discoloration, or ulceration of the skin or swelling of the calf or leg is more typical of problems related to the deeper veins, especially a blood clot.

Various Vein Conditions

At the Elite Vein Specialists, we specialize in treating vein disorders because up to 60% of all Americans, suffer from some type of vein disease. But, just because vein disorders are common doesn’t mean you shouldn’t worry about them.

Varicose veins result from the pooling of blood caused by a decreased flow of blood to the heart from the leg veins. Spider veins are a type of varicose vein, with size being the main difference between the two.
