Get ready for sandal season now
By Dr. Sonja Stiller, Center for Advanced Vein Care
Another year has come and gone more quickly than we anticipated, and once again we were so busy taking care of our loved ones that we didn’t get around to ourselves.
If you’ve resolved to take better care of your health in 2020, now is the time to treat your varicose veins and discover a new, active life without the swelling, achiness and fatigue associated with venous disease.
Why now? Because treating varicose veins takes time, so if you want healthy, attractive legs by summer, you need to get started now—in winter. Most insurance companies have a six-week compression stocking requirement, which means it will be the first of March before we can begin treatment. But you don’t have to jump through those insurance hurdles yourself. We’ll work directly with your health insurance provider to handle all of the paperwork and rigmarole. There are no surprises. We do this every day.
Once approved, it takes another six weeks or so to complete your treatment. This timeline varies by patient because we tailor a custom treatment plan for each person based on their unique needs and lifestyle.
In the end, one of the most common remarks we hear from our patients is, “I wish I had done this sooner. Had I known it was going to be this easy, had I known it would make this big of a difference in how I look and feel, I would have done it a long time ago.”
If you’re ready to get started, contact our office now for a free screening, especially if you are having any of the following symptoms:
- chronic leg pain
- fatigue
- itching
- burning
- Restless Leg Syndrome
- leg cramps or swelling
