December 5, 2015. Morristown, NJ. New Jersey Vein Center announces the publication of an article on home treatments for vein disease symptoms. According to the New Jersey-based center, many patients are interested in what they can do at home to relieve vein disease symptoms, before visiting Dr. Lowell Kabnick, one of the best vein doctors in New Jersey.

Dr. Kabnick explains, “Many patients find themselves with swollen legs and ankles or other symptoms related to vein disease, such as aching, pain, or a heavy feeling in the lower extremities. They often wonder if there is anything they can do at home to relieve their symptoms or even to treat vein disease themselves.” He goes on to note that while home treatment can indeed ease symptoms and help slow the progress of vein disease, such treatments cannot eliminate varicose veins or reverse the vein disease process. The New Jersey vascular doctor advises his patients to give their legs a rest and elevate their feet to reduce swelling. This is particularly important if they spend long periods of time on their feet each day. If, on the other hand, they sit for extended periods at a desk or on a plane, it is very important to get up and walk around every hour to improve blood flow and help prevent blood clots. New Jersey Vein Center is publishing this information in the hopes that people with vein disease symptoms will contact Dr. Kabnick for both at-home and in-clinic treatment suggestions.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Many men and women find themselves suffering from spider veins (small, reddish veins found on the skin’s surface) and varicose veins (larger, bulging veins that often appear blue in color). Although both genders are at risk for varicose and spider veins, women are more likely to experience them than men. There are a number of different vein treatment options available to safely and effectively remove varicose veins. These minimally invasive treatments, which include radio frequency ablation, sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, and phlebectomy, are the result of recent technological advancements and deliver optimal results without causing unnecessary downtime or unpleasant side effects.

Vein disease is a progressive condition in which the tiny valves inside our veins deteriorate or become damaged. This means they cannot propel blood efficiently up the body from our feet to our heart, leading to blood pooling in the lower extremities and causing swollen legs and ankles, varicose veins, and later, possibly leg ulcers and dangerous blood clots.

As one of the best vein doctors in New Jersey, Dr. Kabnick provides a thorough venous health exam to every patient and then offers the most effective treatment options for your particular condition. These treatments might include sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, or endovenous ablation, all of which can be performed right in our vein clinic in about an hour. There will be no need to go to a hospital or spend days recovering – you’ll be back at your regular activities the very same day.

With treatment, you can eliminate varicose veins and the annoying accompanying symptoms they bring, such as that heavy, aching feeling in the legs and a general reluctance to get outside and reveal your legs to the world. As you can see, a vein doctor can help you prevent future health problems as well as help you to feel better about the health and beauty of your legs. So if you have any symptoms of vein disease, give us a call at 973-538-2000 to set up that initial appointment. We look forward to helping you.
