Ametic Surgery and Vein Center, we understand how venous circulation problems can affect your daily life. If you experience leg discomfort and pain, especially after standing or sitting for long periods, you may have venous circulation problems. Venous circulation problems occur when the veins in your legs have a hard time moving blood back up to yourg, pain, discomfort, and even varicose veins.
Additionally, these symptoms can worsen over time if left untreated. Fortunately, you can improve your circulation and reduce these symptoms by using graduated compression stockings by Sigvaris. These stockings can help reduce swelling, pain, and discomfort, and even prevent varicose veins.
Sigvaris stockings are designed to apply pressure to your legs, gradually decreasing from your ankle to your thigh. This pressure helps to improve the blood flow and prevent blood from pooling in your legs. As a result, you may experience less swelling, fatigue, and pain.
These compression stockings are available in various styles, sizes, and compression levels, depending on your needs and preferences. You can choose from knee-high, thigh-high, or pantyhose styles, and select the level of compression that suits you best.
The stockings are made of high-quality materials that are soft, breathable, and durable. You can wear them throughout the day, whether you're at work, exercising, or traveling. The stockings are also easy to put on and take off, thanks to their elastic and comfortable design.
By using Sigvaris compression stockings, you can take control of your leg health and improve your quality of life. You can spend more time doing the things you love, without worrying about leg discomfort and pain.
If you're concerned about your venous circulation problems, we invite you to schedule an appointment with us to discuss your options. We offer various treatment options for Chronic Venous Disease (CVD), as compression stockings may not be enough for severe cases. This includes:
- Endovenous laser ablation or radiofrequency ablation (RFA). In this minimally invasive procedure, a catheter (tube) applies heat directly into the affected vein thus closing it. Upon closure, less blood pools in the leg causing blood flow to improve.
- Sclerotherapy. This form of therapy is usually reserved for more serious cases. A chemical is injected into the affected veins that causes scarring within the veins so that they can no longer transport blood. The body absorbs the nonfunctional veins and blood begins to flow through the heart through other veins.
- Surgery. A Ligation is a type of surgery that is only performed in severe cases. In this procedure the affected vein is tied off and blood can no longer flow through it. If the vein is severely damaged, the vein is stripped (removed).
