Did you know that more than 30 million Americans suffer from venous disease, including varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), but only 1.9 million seek treatment each year?* That is because most people believe that varicose veins are just a cosmetic issue or a sign of aging. As a result, many are unaware that if left untreated, varicose veins can progress to a form of vein (venous) disease called chronic venous insufficiency.This gap in knowledge is why I am working to educate physicians and the public to generate awareness that varicose veins are worthy of medical diagnosis and treatment.
As a healthcare professional you play a critical role in educating patients about varicose veins and venous disease.Please review the links to the brochures which outline risk factors and signs and symptoms of varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Treatment options have advanced considerably over the past decade and can now be done efficiently and effectively in the office with little to no discomfort and decrease in activity time. Working together, we can provide patients who suffer from varicose veins the education they need to understand the symptoms and risks of varicose veins and CVI and to see a vein specialist for screening and potential treatment.
Please feel free to contact Specialty Vein Care for further information or to discuss a treatment plan for your varicose vein patients.
