3 Ways to Improve Your Vascular Health

Dr. Lowell Kabnick, New Jersey vascular doctor, offers 3 ways you can improve your vascular health without medications or treatments. What do New Jersey residents need to know about vascular health? Dr. Lowell Kabnick of New Jersey Vein Center, one of the best vein doctors in New Jersey, explains that our vascular health, or the health of our veins, depends on a number of factors, some of which we can do something about ourselves, and some of which we cannot. For example, advanced age and a family history of vein disease are risk factors for poor vascular health and varicose veins, and we can’t do much to change those two things. However, lifestyle factors also play an important role, such as being overweight or obese, smoking, and maintaining a sedentary lifestyle. All of these conditions place extra stress on the vascular system and can lead to swollen legs and ankles and varicose veins. However, you may be able to avoid the need for New Jersey vein disease treatment by taking care of your vascular health starting today. There are three preventative strategies you can begin to use immediately to protect your vascular health. We’ll be happy to help you 1) get started on an exercise program that suits your schedule and abilities, 2) stop smoking, or 3) get started on a healthy eating plan. All three of these strategies can prevent the development of varicose veins and other vascular problems, or they can at least slow their progress if they have already begun to appear. What if I already have varicose veins? If you already have vascular health problems, these strategies won’t make them go away – in fact, they will get worse without treatment. The good news is that there are simple, minimally invasive treatments that can indeed get rid of existing varicose veins and can restore the health and beauty of your legs. These outpatient procedures include sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, and endovenous ablation. All of them can be performed right in our clinic, with no need to go to a hospital, have surgery, or experience lengthy recovery times. After your treatment, the three preventative strategies above can help ensure that vascular problems and varicose veins never bother you again. Interested in learning more?
