Tired of Burning and Restless Legs? VenaSeal Can Help

https://www.modernheartandvascular.com

-Remember when you could bolt across the room and snatch the lamp
before your child pulled it off the table?
Right now you're just having trouble lifting your legs to walk
and you hate seeing the varicose and bulging veins.
Many people think it's just a muscular or cosmetic issue, instead, the problem lies beneath,
Dr. Rajiv Agarwal with Modern Heart and Vascular Institute
says whether it's the impact of having children or just aging,
there's a modern, quick, and comfortable way to treat venous insufficiency,
and there's no downtime.
Good morning.
- Good morning, Deborah, how are you doing?
- I'm doing well, thank you.
The body has about 60,000 miles of blood vessels,
it's sometimes not a matter of if, but when something takes a turn
and when we have some circulation issues our body starts to notice.
- Yeah, that's right lots and lots and lots of people have lots of leg issues
and they just ignore, especially our moms,
they spend so much time taking care of us and they ignore themselves.
They have lots of symptoms in their legs that can be cured forever, Deborah.
But the point I made earlier, the problem is all times we either think,
"Okay, that's just aging, that's just life."
Or we think, "It's about our muscles or it's just cosmetic."
And it's not all right when you have arteries and poor circulation.
- What are the symptoms of that?
- Arteries take blood from the heart and take it to our toes,
and then the veins bring it back.
The symptoms with arteries typically happen with exertion,
so, if you get any tiredness in your legs, if you get any fatigue or cramping,
but with walking, so that's the distinction.
If it's with exertion it's arterial
whereas venous disease tends to happen more at rest.
So people, if they have symptoms at night,
we see so many patients Deborah that say,
"Oh my God, I don't sleep well, Dr. Agarwal, my legs bother me, my legs ache,
I get cramps, charley horses, restless legs."
There are little things that can be done nowadays
to make all of those symptoms go away, Deborah.
- What are some of the risk factors for both arterial disease and venous disease?
We mentioned pregnancy being one of them.
- Yeah, for arterial disease it's more of the traditional risk factors
like smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history,
and I will throw in COVID as well.
Whereas with venous disease it's the pregnancies, the weight gains,
the not moving around very much, just like teachers or flight attendants,
store clerks, secretaries that are sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time
and gravity is pushing the blood down and not allowing it to come back up.
- It's a sedentary lifestyle that plays a big role into it?
- Diagnosis is important, that can be quick and easy with you all,
and then once you have the diagnosis you can see where someone is,
there are different ways to address the issue,
but one of the treatments you have is called VenaSeal.
- Yeah, VenaSeal is our number one, it's a non-invasive simple treatment,
it takes a minute or two to do, and basically what you're doing
is you're injecting medical-grade glue into the veins in a painless way.
And what you're doing is you're closing off that vein
so the blood is returning through many other good veins,
especially the deep system because the symptoms are there
because of the damaged veins in the superficial system close to the skin.
So you shut down those veins with glue.
Now the blood is returning through the good veins and your symptoms are voila, gone.
- Yeah, it's really a cool, neat process and people just get up and walk out.
- Back in the olden days they did things called vein stripping,
so a lot of people hesitate when they saw their parents or grandparents go through this
hesitate going in that is not what you're doing today.
- No, no, no, no, this is non-surgical.
The stripping they would actually make an incision or remove the vein,
we leave the vein in there and their symptoms are,
their quality of life, their whole overall, just their wellness is just so different.
