Remember when you used to be able to enjoy outdoor activities, before you had the constant leg pain and aching that you’re experiencing now? Most mornings, just getting out of bed is a painful nightmare. You are barely able to climb stairs and going for a walk with your family is out of the question. You’re embarrassed to show off your legs and wish that you could wear shorts instead of pants and capris in the summer heat. It seems like you are missing out on so many things that you used to enjoy. If this is all too familiar to you, it’s time for you to make an appointment at Milligan Vein, your Tennessee vein clinic.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

The veins in your body carry your blood back to your heart. Sometimes they can become weakened or damaged, causing the blood to back up and pool in the veins. Over time, this can cause the veins to swell and begin to appear under the skin as blue lines; varicose veins. It makes no sense to ignore them; they aren’t going to go away on their own; they will only get worse over time. It’s important that you talk to the friendly, helpful, professional staff at the Tennessee vein clinic. They have been treating patients like family for generations and they are ready and able to help you too.

What Can be Done About Varicose Veins?

At the Tennessee vein clinic, you will sit down with Dr. Milligan and discuss a number of different minimally invasive treatment options that will help to relieve the swelling, fatigue and pain that are usually associated with varicose veins. All of these simple procedures are safe and effective and have a short recovery time. Dr. Milligan employs treatments such as endovenous laser treatment (ELT) and ultrasound guided sclerotherapy which will help alleviate the pain and other symptoms that you’ve been experiencing.

If you’ve been putting off going to the doctor because you think that the pain and other symptoms of varicose veins will improve on their own or because you believe that the treatments that are available are as painful as the disease itself, you need to make an appointment today to talk to the caring professionals at the Tennessee vein clinic. Dr. Milligan will help you get your freedom back.
