Dr. Arcot and his highly qualified medical team, who are board certified in their respective fields, offer comprehensive treatment for all vascular conditions including venous and arterial diseases. Varicose veins are abnormal veins that occur in the legs. They can be small, thin, purple lines (called spider veins), or they can appear as thick, bulging, or knotty veins. SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS: • Achy, tired, heavy feeling in the area of the varicose veins • Leg cramps, restless legs at night
• Burning or throbbing pain along with swelling of the legs • Itching, rashes, bleeding • Discoloration of the foot • Non-healing ulcers • History of blood clots While most people think that varicose veins are simply a cosmetic issue, an underlying medical problem often causes varicose veins; it’s called venous reflux/venous obstruction. In a normal vein, valves work to move the blood back to the heart. When a valve malfunctions it causes the blood to pool in the vein, a disorder known as venous insufficiency, which causes varicose veins. The procedure is covered by most insurance companies. Memphis Vein center is a nationally certified outpatient state of the art accredited vascular facility (ICAVL) to offer all modalities to treat varicose veins, including endovenous laser ablation treatment (EVLT), radio frequency (VNUS) and venous stenting for May-Thurners syndrome, as well as ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, and a microsurgical procedure called phlebotomy.
