When you start to see varicose veins developing, it’s important to take action to prevent them from getting any worse.

🏃🏼‍♂️ Start by exercising more and losing weight if you need to, which takes the pressure off your veins and improves circulation. ➡️ You can also get compression stockings to wear that help by squeezing the blood back in the right direction.

If your varicose veins make your legs hurt or otherwise bother you, the team at Tinsley Surgical provides advanced, minimally invasive treatments, including:
🔹 Foam sclerotherapy
🔹 Laser therapy

📲 To schedule a consultation for your varicose veins, call our office at 910-769-2583 and our team will create a treatment plan best suited for you.

Claudication is defined as leg pain with walking that is relieved by rest. The pain occurs most commonly in the calf or the hips and buttocks. Claudication is due to reduced blood flow to the muscles during activity.

If you have PAD, you may have Claudication. Initial management of Claudication consists of lifestyle modification, smoking cessation, targeted medical management, and exercise therapy. Surgical intervention may be needed when symptoms are disabling and do not improve with conservative care.

📲 To schedule an appointment to begin treating your PAD, call our office at 910-769-2583.
