What would cause your arms and legs to ache and what treatments are available at VISP?

Venous Insufficiency – This condition is the insufficient blood flow from your leg veins to the heart caused by weak valves. These weakened valves do not shut properly causing blood to flow in the wrong direction. When the blood flows backward, it causes pooling and stretching of the veins, which create varicose veins. The excess pressure on the vein causes leg pain. There are two veins that commonly get affected with this condition:

- The great saphenous vein, which runs down the inside of the thigh past the knee.
- The short saphenous vein, which runs down the back of the calf below the knee.

Venous insufficiency is diagnosed by a special ultrasound which can be ordered during a consultation with our vein specialists.

Treatment of Painful Varicose Veins Include:

- Radiofrequency Vein Ablation – a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the vein and seal it closed. The body will naturally redirect the blood flow to healthy veins. This is an essentially pain-free minimally-invasive treatment performed as an outpatient procedure. You can expect quick pain relief and recovery time.

- Ambulatory Phlebectomy – the removal of the vein through tiny incisions in the leg.

- Injection Sclerotherapy – a method used to dissolve and shrink troublesome veins using an injected solution.
