March 27, 2016. Morristown, New Jersey. NJ Vein Center announces the publication of an article on the possible consequences of swollen legs and ankles. According to the Morristown based center, many people mistake swollen legs and ankles for simply “overdoing it” and they don’t seek treatment, even if the condition doesn’t resolve in a few days. Dr. Lowell Kabnick, sole practitioner of NJVC and a top New Jersey vein specialist explains, “Delaying treatment can be dangerous, because the cause of the swelling might actually be vein disease.

Vein disease is the result of a breakdown in the ability of our veins to properly move the blood up the body to the heart. Thus, gravity tends to pull it downwards and the blood can pool in our legs and ankles, causing that swelling.” Dr. Kabnick notes that, “Left untreated, vein disease can have some serious medical consequences, such as deep vein thrombosis or blood clots.

These clots can break free of their place in the leg and travel to the heart, lungs and brain, causing a deadly embolism. Due to the swelling, many people have no idea that they even have a blood clot.” Dr. Kabnick advises anyone who is concerned about swollen legs and ankles to make an appointment at NJ Vein Center for a painless venous health evaluation.

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.
