Institute for vein care

Metro Vein Clinic: Institute for vein care

What are varicose veins? What are spider veins? Veins refer to those blood vessels that carry blood from the body back to the heart. In this case we are talking about the veins in the legs. The calf muscle acts as a pump when we walk. The pump forces the blood against the force of gravity towards the heart. The one way valves help prevent the blood from going backwards from the force of gravity towards the feet. Most often, because of family history and multiple pregnancies, the one way valves stop working and blood starts pooling in the legs and around the ankles. This results in leg pain especially at the end of the day, and can also result in leg swelling, restless leg, visible large tortuous veins or spider veins on the legs.

If you feel that you may have varicose veins, if you feel that you have spider veins and your legs hurt, I invite you to schedule an appointment at any of our 3 locations… Fridley, Plymouth or Burnsville.

Your first visit is like visiting your doctor’s office. You will fill out basic demographic information. I will personally obtain a history, review your complaints and perform a physical exam. Based on the symptoms I will perform an ultrasound exam. Before you leave you will have a clear idea of your medical condition and your treatment options
