Vein disease is a common condition that affects about one in 20 adults. It is caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins, which allow blood to pool and back up. This can cause varicose veins and other symptoms such as pain, swelling, burning, itching, tiredness, aching legs, or leg pain that improves with walking or evaluation.

"Veins play a key role in circulating blood throughout your body, so it's important to be evaluated and treat vein disease early before it progresses to a more serious condition," said Dr. Yan Katsnelson, founder and CEO, USA Vein Clinics. "Pain is the body's response to indicate that something is not functioning correctly."

Untreated varicose veins can often result in excess blood leaking into the surrounding tissue, leading to venous ulcers, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other serious problems.

USA Vein Clinics has achieved national recognition for providing comprehensive evaluation and an evidence-based approach to patient care that results in consistent and better outcomes. Treatment, based on the individual needs of the patient, can include the ClariVein or Venaseal procedures, which treat the underlying cause of vein disease and prevent reoccurrence without laser energy. Other non-invasive treatment options include endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, visual sclerotherapy, varithena and radiofrequency ablation.
