Lunch and Learn: Varicose Veins and Venous Disease
August 17, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
Multipurpose Room
Description
Francesca Mertan, PA-C, from Florida Lakes Vein Center welcomes you to Lunch n’ Learn here at Cresswind, offering free mobile vein screening to our residents to help determine if vein treatment is right for you!
It’s A No Veiner!
As much as 55% of American women develop varicose veins, but men may experience this problem too. More than 40 million Americans suffer from venous reflux disease, yet, very few know that minimally invasive treatments are available. Only 17% are properly diagnosed and only 1% are treated.
Bad Veins? Renew Your legs. “It’s not our job to deal with leg pain, but it is ours.”
Vein disease is not fun, but life after treatment is another story.
Using an injection technique, We medically treat incompetent lower extremity veins due to Venous Insufficiency or known as Venous Reflux Disease. Common risk factors: Genetics, Obesity, Hormonal Fluctuations, Prolonged Sitting/Standing & Aging.
What is Venous Reflux Disease and what does it look like?
- Bulging Varicose Veins/Spider Veins
- Swelling of the Legs/Ankles/Feet
- Overall Leg Heaviness/Fatigue
- Leg Cramping
- Brown Staining/Discoloration of the Legs
- Itching/Burning
- Venous Ulcers
- Leg Pain
LUCKILY, there are non-surgical treatment options – Don’t Wait Another Day!
About Our FREE Mobile Screenings:
While we offer Free Vein Screenings in the office, our mission is to provide unmatched patient care to anyone who may need our services. By coming to you, we can better educate those who may suffer from the symptoms listed above who may not believe there is relief available to them. During a Mobile Free Vein Screening, we will individually spend time with each potential patient going over current symptoms and patient history, then finished off with a brief ultrasound examination to see if their symptoms could in fact be caused by Venous Insufficiency. If they would benefit from a full evaluation, they will then be encouraged to visit us at one of our two convenient locations (Lakewood Ranch & Venice).
