Are your legs tired, heavy or achy? Do you have painful varicose veins? Do you have skin changes to your legs?

Many people think that lower leg swelling, and discoloration is cosmetic, but it is actually a physical condition we can treat. The underlying medical problem is vein valves that don’t work well. This is sometimes called venous insufficiency or venous reflux. We can evaluate you and perform an ultrasound to determine the amount of reflux in your legs.

Types of Treatment

Compression stockings – These can be over the counter or prescription. Often insurance companies will assist with payment.

Sclerotherapy – A tiny needle is used to inject a solution that is similar medical super glue that will seal or close the diseased vein. Blood is rerouted to nearby healthy veins.

Radio frequency ablation (RFA) – A small thin tube is inserted into the vein, heated up, and this closes/heats up the vein behind it. This surgery prevents the backfilling of the vein, which will reduce swelling (edema) and pain in the lower legs. Eventually the vein will be reabsorbed by the body. This procedure is a same day surgery.

A Vein Care Patient Tells Her Story

Listen to a patient’s firsthand account.

Pam’s life as a nurse has improved thanks to the expert care she received from the vein care specialists at Tomah Health. After years of spending so much time on her legs at work, Pam developed a painful vein condition. Dr. John Robertson, Tomah’s board-certified surgeon specializing in vascular surgery, recommended vein care, and Pam “can’t believe how much better she feels.”

Full payment (credit card or cash) is required in advance of all cosmetic services.
