Dr. Andrew Rochman, a leading vascular doctor on Long Island, explains how vein disease can limit your activities and keep you from doing the things you once loved.
What do Long Island residents need to know about vein disease?
Vein disease occurs when the little valves inside our veins begin to wear out or become damaged. This can happen due to age, genetics, or lifestyle factors and when it does, our veins are less able to properly propel the blood from our feet and legs up to our heart. Due to gravity, the blood might begin to pool in the legs, feet, or ankles, causing swelling, aching, and varicose veins.
Long Island vein care specialists warn against thinking of vein disease as merely a cosmetic problem. Over time, the swelling and aching can make you reluctant to participate in activities you once enjoyed, such as walking or dancing. And if you have varicose veins you may feel like hiding your legs, keeping you from wearing skirts or swimsuits and doing even fewer activities you like doing.
The good news is that with a visit to a varicose vein treatment specialist in Long Island, you can learn just how easy it is to get rid of those varicose veins and get back to the activities you love. We have effective, minimally invasive treatments such as sclerotherapy and endovenous ablation treatments that can all be performed right at our vein treatment center in Long Island on an outpatient basis, with no need to go to a hospital or suffer long recovery times. In fact, you’ll be up and on your way and back to the things you love to do the same day as your procedure!
