How might getting varicose vein treatment in Chicago help with Restless Leg Syndrome?

Besides the numerous causes of RLS such as stimulant intake, medication side effects, alcohol, and anemia, spider vein doctors in Chicago are learning that there is an overlap in the symptoms of vein disease and RLS. Chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins can also cause symptoms of RLS such as leg cramping, bothersome sensations, and restlessness. In fact, some research has shown that more than 20% of patients with RLS also have venous insufficiency and varicose veins. By treating varicose veins and other forms of vein disease, most people can find long-term relief from RLS too.
