Painful aching legs and restless leg syndrome

Treatment of restless leg syndrome Beaver, PA

There are many symptoms of varicose and spider veins. Signs that say you should seek treatment. Restless leg syndrome is probably the most annoying.

• An urge you can't resist to move your legs 

  Uncomfortable sensations cause patients to need to move their legs.
  
  Some words used to describe these sensations include creeping, itching, pulling, creepy-crawly, tugging, or gnawing.

• It may be hard to fall asleep or stay asleep because of the feelings in your legs

  A substantial number of people who have RLS also have periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS). PLMS are repetitive movements that occur every 20 to 30 seconds on and off throughout the night and can cause partial awakenings that disrupt sleep.
  
  If you feel like these symptoms or others make it hard to fall or stay asleep, you're not alone—it's often one of the chief complaints among people with restless legs syndrome. 

• When you move your legs your symptoms are alleviated

  If the uncomfortable sensations go away when you move your legs, it's another sign of RLS.
  
  The relief can be complete or only partial but generally starts very soon after starting an activity. Relief persists as long as the movement continues.

• While resting, symptoms start or get worse

  The longer you are at rest, the greater the chance the symptoms will occur and the more severe they are likely to be.

• Symptoms are worse in the evening, especially when lying down

  Symptoms worsening in the evening is another one of the criteria necessary for an RLS diagnosis.
  
  If your symptoms aren't worse at night, it may not be RLS. Some people with RLS, however, can have severe daytime symptoms too.

Because some foods that may be causing or worsening the problem, avoid:

• alcohol

•  caffeine

• nicotine.

• review all medications you are taking with your doctor to determine if any of these drugs could be causing the problem. 

Underlying medical conditions that aggravate restless legs:

• varicose veins

• anemia

• diabetes

• nutritional deficiencies

• kidney disease

• thyroid disease

• Parkinson's disease

These should be treated. Dietary supplements to correct vitamin or mineral deficiency may be recommended. For some people, these treatments are all that is needed to relieve RLS symptoms.

Vein Treatment, Varicose Veins Pittsburgh

Treatment of Varicose Veins, Beaver

At the Advanced Vein Center in Beaver, Butler and Allegheny County we use the most advanced imaging and certified technicians to assist your doctor in creating a treatment plan unique for you.

First an RVT, Registered Vascular Technician, will take almost an hour doing a very comprehensive Doppler Ultrasound exam and Vein Mapping to thoroughly plan a treatment protocol unique for you. Veins are measured, the valves are tested for reflux, and the process is begun to give you back healthier legs.

Usually, if failed and leaking valves are identified the the larger veins like the Greater saphenous Vein or Small Saphenous Vein are closed to prevent leg swelling. The blood is routed to deep working veins instead of the blood pooling under the skin. This pooling and swelling of the leg veins is what causes varicose veins

The best treatment of varicose leg veins is Radio Frequency Vein Ablation. This is accomplished through a tiny poke hole through which a thin catheter is inserted and threaded up the abnormal veins. It is then heated using radio waves and the vein is closed. A band aid is all that is necessary to cover the site and compression stockings are worn for 48 hours.

Laser Treatment for Veins, Pittsburgh Pa

laser spider vein therapy

Treatment of Veins with Laser, Butler Pa

In 1/20 th of a second, you can watch those annoying leg veins disappear in a flash- literally!

We use a quick, nonpainful laser- a highly focused beam of light t- whose wavelength is attracted to the colored pigment in the vein . This selectively treats only the ugly broken vessels that are creating a map on your legs. Our doctors can also use a laser to treat varicose veins. EVLT, or endovenous vein ablation isone such example of a treatment for the larger varicose veins that are creating the spider veins to begin with.

Simple laser treatment. 

Depending on the number and size of your reticular veins, simple laser vein treatment can be done with out any needles or incisions-on the outside of your skin. We can treat spider veins and small varicose veins just under the surface of the skin. At times, more than a single laser session is necessary, 6 to 12 weeks apart, as prescribed by your doctor. A good vein center will do a doppler ultrasound to map and measure the veins you can't see under the skin first. This will tell you the appropriate treatment to start with, as often "feeder" veins-larger veins that have stopped working- will continue to create more spider veins as fast as you can treat them, if these are not addressed.

After laser treatment of broken capillaries and small vessels, you can walk out immediately and resume normal daily activities. After endovenous laser treatments of larger varicose veins, stockings should be worn for a short time.

Laser vein treatment has been safely and effectively used for over 20 years.

The more experience your doctor has had with laser, the less risk you are likely to have. Talk to your doctor about how often any side effects happen in his or her practice. 

Transient itching or burning, mild in nature are common. this usually doesn't last long.

What is the Best Treatment for Spider Veins in Pittsburgh

Get your legs back!

What is the Best Treatment for Spider Veins in Cranberry Twp, near Pittsburgh Pa?

SCLEROTHERAPY

Our doctors recommend Sclerotherapy, a safe and virtually pain-free technique to rid your legs of spider veins.

By injecting a very small amount of solution into the reticular veins- often called spider veins in the legs, you can watch these unwanted annoyances virtually disappear right in front of your eyes! This procedure has been safely used for over 30 years.

SCLEROTHERAPY TREATMENT

This treatment uses your body's natural healing processes to break down and remove unwanted and disfiguring small vessels called telangectasias. It is performed lying down is a comfortable position. The Dr nurse, or physicians assistant guides a very fine needle into the veins lumen. Natural solutions like saline or other sclerosing solutions are then injected into the vein which is very irritating to the inside lining of the vessel. This causes it to naturally swell and fuse together. It will then gradually fade over a period of weeks to months.

Depending on the size of your vessels being treated, the Dr may advise wearing stockings for a day or two.
