Leg pain may come from a variety of sources. Some pain—particularly muscular or joint pain-- can be attributed to overuse. Frequently, back problems of spinal alignment cause pain in the legs. Occasionally, pain may emanate from the vascular system--blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation.
As part of our effort to promote awareness and education at the Vein Institute of NJ, we want to highlight Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), as March is awareness month for this disease.
Following our previous post on circulation, we want to talk about some food choices you can make that may improve your blood flow and circulation. In addition, it is National Nutrition Month, so what better time to discuss healthy eating and vascular health!
Sclerotherapy is just one of the effective ways to eliminate unsightly spider veins. Its extensive track record as a therapy is a testament to its success as a spider vein removal treatment.
The body's circulation system is responsible for sending blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. So, when blood flow to a specific part is reduced, you may experience what is known as poor circulation. Essentially, there is not enough blood flow to a certain area of the body.
Have you been experiencing pain or aches in your legs? Tiredness or fatigue? Itching or burning? Skin discoloration? Or, have you noticed an increasing amount of spider veins and varicose veins?
