Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Lymphedema Treatment at Vein Center of Arizona

When it comes to the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema, Vein Center of Arizona leads the way. Specializing in vascular medicine, our team of expert doctors offers the highest level of care and comprehensive solutions for patients in need.

Understanding Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that affects the blood flow in the veins, particularly in the legs. It occurs when the valves in the veins become damaged or weakened, leading to blood pooling and poor circulation. Symptoms of CVI may include swelling, pain, aching, heaviness, and skin changes.

At Vein Center of Arizona, our skilled physicians have extensive experience diagnosing and treating CVI. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to assess the severity of the condition, allowing us to create personalized treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient.

Treating Chronic Venous Insufficiency

We offer a range of effective treatments for chronic venous insufficiency, aimed at improving symptoms and preventing further complications. Our treatment options include:

• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): This minimally invasive procedure uses laser technology to seal off damaged veins, redirecting blood flow to healthy vessels.
• Venaseal: Using medical-grade adhesive, Venaseal closes off damaged veins, providing relief from CVI symptoms.
• Sclerotherapy: By injecting a solution into the affected veins, a specialized medication causes them to collapse and gradually disappear.
• Compression Therapy: Wearing compression stockings helps improve blood flow and manage swelling associated with CVI.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Our doctors provide guidance on lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing.

The Impact of Lymphedema

Lymphedema is a condition characterized by the buildup of lymph fluid in the tissues, typically in the arms or legs. It occurs when the lymphatic system is compromised or damaged, leading to persistent swelling and discomfort. Lymphedema may develop as a result of surgery, radiation therapy, infection, or other factors.

At Vein Center of Arizona, we understand the challenges that lymphedema presents and offer effective treatments to manage the condition. Our comprehensive approach involves a combination of therapies to minimize swelling and improve overall quality of life.

Treating Lymphedema

We employ various treatment approaches to address lymphedema and its associated symptoms:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Our skilled therapists use specialized massage techniques to stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce swelling.
• Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT): This comprehensive treatment consists of manual lymphatic drainage, compression bandaging, exercise, and skin care, offering long-term relief for lymphedema patients.
• Compression Garments: We provide custom-fit compression garments that help manage swelling and promote proper lymphatic drainage.
• Education and Support: Our team educates patients on self-care techniques, lifestyle modifications, and precautions to prevent infections and further complications.
