Do you have a question?
As a member of the medical specialty dedicated to providing relief for patients suffering from vein disease, it is disheartening to know that, despite the high prevalence of venous disease (including varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency [CVI]), the vast majority of people with these conditions do not adequately address them. Many have been given misinformation, or are simply not aware that minimally invasive treatments exist that can offer relief of symptoms and potentially stop the progression into CVI. Given the prevailing misconception that varicose veins are only a cosmetic issue, only 1.9 million of the more than 30 million Americans who suffer from varicose veins or CVI seek treatment, according to the American College of Phlebology.
