By Dr. John Hogg, Founder of Medical Vein Clinic
When patients visit Medical Vein Clinic™ in San Antonio, many are surprised to learn that the symptoms they’ve been struggling with for years are actually signs of venous insufficiency, commonly known as varicose veins.
Symptoms of vein disease often develop gradually. You might experience:
- Itching or burning in your legs
- Heaviness or aching
- Swollen legs at day’s end
- Restless legs at night
- Tired, fatigued legs
Many people assume these symptoms are simply part of aging. But in reality, they are often indicators of vein disease. The good news: today, varicose veins can be treated with minimally invasive outpatient procedures. Using advanced catheter technology, these treatments typically take less than an hour. Most patients walk in and walk out the same day, much like a routine eye exam. These procedures are typically covered by insurance.
Since opening our San Antonio clinic in 2017, our mission has been clear: help people with vein disease lead full, active, and productive lives. We make it easy for you to receive expert care with two convenient locations in San Antonio. Both clinics are designed with our patients’ comfort in mind, offering a warm, spa-like setting that helps you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. At both of our locations, patients are cared for by some of the most experienced vein, arterial, and lymphatic specialists in the country. Using advanced technology and proven treatments, we help you reduce leg pain and improve mobility.
Research studies show that when you have strong legs, with good circulation, you live a longer, fuller life. If you or someone you know is experiencing leg discomfort, don’t dismiss it as “just getting older.” Venous insufficiency is highly treatable, and taking action now can significantly improve your quality of life. Our entire staff looks forward to providing you with the highest level of care.
