Varicose veins aren’t always just a sign of age or standing too long, often, they hint at something deeper

People with Ehlers-Danlos-like characteristics (hyper mobile joints, stretchy skin, easy bruising or dysautonomia/POTS) may develop varicose veins more commonly. This is because EDS affects collagen, which is what gives our blood vessels strength and structure.

When collagen is weaker, veins can stretch, valves can fail and blood starts to pool, leading to visible aching varicose veins and spider veins

✨ Before & After Varicose Vein Treatment ✨

This 46-year-old gentleman came to us with painful, heavy varicose veins predominantly affecting his left leg. He experienced aching, swelling, and discomfort that worsened by the end of the day – symptoms that were beginning to impact his work and lifestyle.

We treated him with Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS) – modern, minimally invasive procedures that target both the underlying faulty veins and the visible surface varicosities.

The results speak for themselves 👉 not only is there a dramatic cosmetic improvement, but his leg feels lighter, more comfortable, and free of the daily ache that had bothered him for years.

If you’re living with varicose veins – whether it’s pain, swelling, or simply not liking how they look – safe, walk-in walk-out treatments are available.

🌟 Varicose Vein Transformation – Real Results! 🌟

At Meridian Vein and Pain, we’re proud to help our local communities across Geelong, the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, and Ballarat regain comfort and confidence with advanced vein treatments.

This patient came to us with painful, visible varicose veins. Using a combination of Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy, we were able to close the faulty veins and restore healthy circulation. The results speak for themselves – check out the before and after photos! ✅

Both EVLA and sclerotherapy are minimally invasive, walk-in walk-out procedures with no need for hospital admission. Patients are back on their feet quickly, often returning to work the same day.

It continues to surprise me how a lot of regenerative medicine is done ignoring the science behind it. This is the case with Platelet Rich Plasma as a biological therapy for pain or aesthetics.

The RESTORE trial out of Australia published in JAMA used a commercially available 10ml PRP tube and showed no real evidence of improvement compared to saline. No mention of platelet dose in this study.

Bansal et al performed a similar study published in Nature but quantified platelet dose to 10 billion showing meaningful outcomes.

At Meridian we know what dose of PRP we are using. We have an onsite haemanalyser and use standardised PRP kits and protocols to obtain high dose PRP. This is the standard that needs to be met when assessing a regenerative clinic, otherwise there is a variability in outcomes whether you use PRP in skin, hair rejuvenation or musculoskeltal conditions.

This feeds through to our mesenchymal stem cell treatments also.

🌿 Chronic Pain & Multimorbidity – A Complex Challenge 🌿

Over half of people living with multiple long-term health conditions also suffer from chronic pain. Yet, most treatment guidelines rarely address this group, leaving doctors with tough choices.

A recent review in the British Journal of Anaesthesia (Grant et al., 2025) highlights the risks of commonly prescribed painkillers:

⚠️ Opioids – linked to overdose, higher mortality, hospital readmissions, fractures, and dependency.
⚠️ NSAIDs – associated with gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney injury, cardiovascular risks, and higher mortality in complex patients.
⚠️ Gabapentinoids – limited research, but concerns about delirium and pneumonia.

🔑 Key takeaways for safer care:
✅ Avoid opioids as first-line therapy
✅ Use NSAIDs cautiously, especially in frail patients
✅ Explore non-drug options like physiotherapy, CBT, or acupuncture
✅ Involve patients in shared decision-making

At Meridian Vein and Pain, we provide non-pharmacological pain treatments including targeted injections and energy-based therapies to help patients manage pain safely and effectively.

✨ Pain Relief and Better Mobility with Hyaluronic Acid in Geelong ✨

At Meridian Vein and Pain in Newtown, Geelong, we’re proud to offer advanced, non-surgical options for joint pain. Recently, one of our patients had a fantastic result with hyaluronic acid injections to the big toe osteoarthritic joint– experiencing less pain, smoother movement, and improved quality of life. She had initially presented with a Morton’s Neuroma in the left foot and had a complete improvement of her pain with this. She was experiencing quite a lot pain in the right foot. Ultrasound revealed an osteoarthritis of the big toe.

Hyaluronic acid works by restoring lubrication and cushioning in the joint, helping people with arthritis or cartilage wear get back to the activities they love. For this patient, the difference was life-changing – reduced stiffness, greater mobility, and a return to normal daily routines.

We’re dedicated to providing the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, and Greater Geelong with safe, effective treatments for pain relief. If joint pain is stopping you from moving freely, our team can help.
