How Can I Increase Blood Circulation at Home? Where Can I Find a Vein Doctor Midtown to Treat My Vein Disease? 

If you have poor blood circulation or a vein disease, your body will let you know in the form of spider veins or varicose veins. Here are some ways recommended by vein doctors from Vein Treatment Center in New York to combat these conditions by promoting proper blood flow throughout the body.  These tips will help you increase blood circulation in your everyday life for some temporary relief until you are able to seek treatment from a vein doctor Midtown.

The bulging veins that you may be seeing on your legs are known as spider veins and varicose veins, and they occur when blood reverses direction and pools around the veins in the legs instead of traveling to the heart. A great way to combat this is by elevating your legs and allowing gravity to do its job by helping blood flow redirect back to your heart. Some examples are propping your feet up under your desk at work or resting your feet on some pillows while laying in bed. Elevating your legs will promote better blood circulation, alleviate swelling in the legs, and reduce accumulation of blood in your veins.

In case you needed another incentive to get a massage in addition to the fact that they are relaxing and stress-relieving, massages also improve blood circulation. The gentle pressure can alleviate discomfort and pain from varicose veins, and encourage blood flow by stimulation of the surrounding muscle tissue, but be careful not to apply direct pressure to the varicose veins. The skin in that area is quite delicate and fragile, and varicose veins are tender to the touch, so direct pressure can lead to injury.

So far, we’ve talked about remedies that can provide temporary relief to the pain and discomfort that results from spider veins and varicose veins. However, the only permanent way to treat vein disease is to seek medical treatment from a vein doctor at a vein treatment center.

To address visible spider veins, the standard vein treatment is sclerotherapy, which uses tiny needles to inject medicine that improves the appearance of spider veins in just one month. The deeper saphenous veins that cause varicose veins are treated using one of three methods: VenaSeal, radiofrequency ablation, or varithena.

VenaSeal, as the name suggests, is a vein adhesive used to “seal” the saphenous vein in the leg that causes varicose veins. Radiofrequency ablation uses thermal energy to close down the walls of the damaged vein. Varithena is a pre-made sclerotherapy foam injected into the vein to reduce the symptoms and appearance of varicose veins. All of these treatment options cause minimal discomfort and the procedures only take about thirty minutes from start to finish. There is no anesthesia or recovery time involved, so you can go home or back to work after the procedure at the vein clinic.

If you have spider veins or varicose veins, and need to determine if you have a vein disease, it is essential to set up an appointment with a vein specialist in venous medicine to minimize damage to the veins and prevent further problems down the road.
