Amazing stories of successful outcomes of varicose and spider veins treatment in Chicago, IL patients.
One notable patient presented herself to us with all too common symptoms of vein disease. She complained that her legs were aching; she had some moderate visible varicose veins and excessive clusters of blue spider veins. She also mentioned pain in the sides and back part of her legs at night or when standing too long. By examining her veins with the help of an ultrasound device and looking at her family history of vein disease, Dr. Castro was able to recommend laser treatment as the most suitable option for her. Immediately after her procedure, she felt much better, and within weeks, her legs look much better. She was happy to walk out of the office and be done.
Another patient had endovenous laser therapy and has experienced fantastic results. Her pain is gone and the unsightly veins have completely disappeared. The procedure didn’t hurt, and she was very comfortable during the entire process. She also had very little pain during recovery. Because she followed Dr. Castro’s recommendations of wearing compression stockings and staying active, she is looking forward to summer and no longer hiding her unsightly veins.
Not long ago, a new patient came into our office, unhappy with the results of previous doctors. Dr. Castro was able to see her right away and used ultrasound to pinpoint her condition. While she loves the new look of her legs from laser therapy, she was most impressed by her newfound excitement for visiting a doctor.
Sometimes patients prefer not to or are unable to undergo surgery, no matter how minor. Patients with mild to moderate symptoms of vein disease often find relief from conservative therapies. In these cases, patients are advised to wear compression stockings and make specific lifestyle changes, such as taking regular exercise and quitting smoking to promote increased circulation in the legs. To improve pain and swelling effectively and without surgery, Dr. Castro often recommends ibuprofen, compresses and leg elevation.
On the other hand, extreme cases of vein disease can have positive outcomes too. A woman with a particularly advanced case of vein disease was also able to achieve successful results at Chicago Vein Care Center. Unable to walk on her own, this particular patient had to rely on a cane to remain mobile. At night, her legs were restless and she unwittingly kicked her husband as he slept. The same simple laser treatment over multiple sessions gave her back her ability to walk on her own again. Her husband was also able to sleep safely again.
