Step into the Holidays with a Bounce in Your Step without Swollen Legs & Ankles

The busyness and fun of the holidays are just around the corner, but your swollen legs & ankles are preventing you from facing them with joy. Vascular issues can slow you down, both physically and emotionally, leaving you unable to enjoy your family and friends during this special time. Fortunately, it’s not too late to reverse these symptoms. With the right kind of vein disease treatment you can face the holidays with a bounce in your step.

How can vein treatment fix my swollen legs & ankles?

While there are many different factors that may lead to leg and ankle swelling, problems in your veins are often at fault. If your veins are not functioning as they should, blood may begin to pool downwards rather than flowing back up to the heart. This allows fluids to rest in your ankles and lower legs, causing that aching and swelling that you just can’t seem to get rid of. Not only is this problem uncomfortable, it may get worse after spending time on your feet, preventing you from engaging in activities you used to enjoy. Fortunately, in many cases a quick, safe, and virtually pain-free treatment can reverse this issue.

When you come in for a consultation with Dr. Andrew Rochman, he will ask you a series of questions and may run a few tests to help determine the root cause of your vascular problems. This may involve undergoing an ultrasound, a painless and non-invasive procedure that creates an image of your veins. Dr. Rochman can use this image to locate the root cause of your Swollen Legs & Ankles. If vein disease is at fault, he will then advise you on your options for treatment.

At Advanced Vein Care Solutions we often encourage our patients to make lifestyle changes before undergoing vascular surgery. These changes help improve circulation, reducing swelling and improving comfort. You may be encouraged to manage your weight, exercise regularly, and wear compression hose. While these measures will not undo aesthetic issues such as varicose or spider veins, they will leave you feeling much healthier overall.

If conservative treatment isn’t enough to address your leg achiness and swelling, your doctor may suggest that you undergo a minimally invasive vein treatment. These treatments address vascular issues at their root, sealing off diseased veins from the rest of the circulatory system. Unlike older Vein Treatment methods, today’s procedures are fast, effective, and virtually pain-free. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during their procedures, and in many cases treatment can be completed in as little as an hour.

There seems to be no end to the number of tasks that need completion during the holidays, which is why many patients are hesitant to undergo treatment in the last months of the year. Fortunately, minimally invasive vein treatment does not require a lengthy recovery period. Many patients are able to get back to their daily routine shortly after their procedure is complete, which means you’ll be back to your holiday shopping in no time.
