Florida Lakes Vein Center (FLVC) firmly believes that no one should have to live with heavy, tired, or swollen legs, or be told the problem is “just aging.” As a leader in minimally invasive, state-of-the-art vein care, FLVC combines advanced technology with a patient-first approach to uncover and treat the underlying issues that cause leg discomfort.
FLVC has repeatedly seen that treating vein disease can transform a patient’s entire life. When swelling, pain, and heaviness disappear, people move more easily, sleep better, and regain the confidence to show their legs. For example, one man with restless leg spasms had been sleeping separately from his wife until treatment brought relief, and a return to their shared bed. Another patient, once homebound and embarrassed by her legs, was back on the golf course and wearing shorts within weeks.
Still, many people think swollen or heavy legs are normal. They’re not. Symptoms like these always indicate a health issue. Often that is chronic venous insufficiency, which is a progressive condition that won’t resolve on its own and may already be affecting mobility, sleep, social life, and emotional well-being.
Education is key. Learning that vein disease isn’t just cosmetic, but is a true medical condition, often motivates people to seek help. Because venous disease is rarely taught in medical school, it’s frequently overlooked. FLVC is working to change that through provider outreach, patient education, and an easy online self-assessment tool.
For new patients, the first step is simple. A free vein screening includes a brief conversation about symptoms and a quick Doppler scan to check for reflux, the backward flow of blood. If reflux is found, the next step is a full venous mapping to understand the problem and create a personalized plan.
Today’s treatments are nothing like the old vein-stripping procedures. FLVC offers modern, minimally invasive options, such as VenaSeal and Varithena. These cutting edge treatments require no anesthesia, no downtime, and typically take less than 30 minutes.
If you’ve been living with swelling, heaviness, or painful veins, don’t write it off as normal for another moment. Start the new year prioritizing your health. Schedule your free vein screening with Florida Lakes Vein Center today.
