Varicose Veins (Circulation Issues)

Studies show that people who spend many hours a day standing and working shifts that are longer than eight hours a day have a greater incidence of circulation issues. Professionals who experience circulation issues more often include nurses, teachers, firefighters and police. If you’re feeling heaviness in your legs or leg fatigue – regardless of whether you have visible varicose veins or spider veins – you may have circulation issues called venous insufficiency. Improving your circulation will not only address how you feel but can help pump blood through your body more efficiently, taking stress off your heart.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Blood collects oxygen from the lungs and travels to the heart, where it’s then pumped throughout the body to deliver oxygen to our cells. Once deoxygenated, blood returns to the heart via the veins in our legs. Sometimes that upward transit malfunctions. This creates elevated pressure in the veins, impacting circulation causing venous insufficiency and sometimes visible varicose veins.

Risk Factors for Varicose Veins

  • Family History
  • Age
  • Pregnancy
  • Weight gain
  • Excessive sitting or standing on the job

Symptoms of Venous Insufficiency

  • Leg heaviness, particularly at night
  • Restless legs syndrome
  • Swelling in the lower extremities
  • Fatty deposits beneath the skin 
  • Spider veins at the same location
  • May or may not have visible varicose veins. 
  • Dry, red, itchy skin 
  • Achiness or cramping in the legs

How are Circulation Issues Treated?

When building your personalized treatment plan, the experts at NexGen will consider your specific symptoms and severity of your condition. Compression therapy and physical therapy can often be very effective in treating circulation problems.

If needed, NexGen specializes in an ultra-minimally invasive procedure called venous ablation to target and treat damaged veins. This is done by applying radiofrequency energy through a tiny catheter – no stitches needed. Treating circulation issues not only eliminates symptoms but also puts less stress on the heart, improves your endurance, and prevents serious complications.
