🚨NEW BLOG!🚨

Do you have leg pain while walking distances? Can’t walk far or need to take frequent breaks when on your feet for long? Wounds on your leg not healing? These symptoms are all associated with PAD!

What is PAD? Peripheral Arterial Disease occurs when blood vessels in the leg clog with plaque and blood flow is reduced which can result in a painful cramping or burning sensation in the legs and feet due to the lack of oxygen reaching your lower extremities.

When fatty plaque builds up in these tiny vessels, the lack of blood flow correlates with the lack of oxygen reaching your lower extremities, causing pain and discomfort. Untreated, this can lead to serious pain and permanent damage to your legs which could lead to amputation.

How can Tinsley Surgical help? Using advanced vascular ultrasound technology, we are able to provide a non-invasive evaluation before coming up with a treatment approach for each individual patient. If it's not PAD, we can direct you to a different specialist. We work hard to do everything from diagnosis to treatment here in house!

Are you worried you might be suffering from PAD? Contact us today to learn more and to schedule a visit!

🚨NEW BLOG POST ALERT🚨

"Winter Weather and Varicose Veins"

Vein care is a year-round struggle for some, but the winter months can be a great time to attend to your vein issues. Warmer weather results in more swelling of varicose veins, so the cold weather can actually reduce swelling. However, winter is the best time to get rid of your spider veins and varicose veins in preparation for the outdoor season!

You may notice that swelling is comparatively better than in the summertime, but the lower atmospheric pressure of Winter, being less active in the cold months, and additional weight gain from the holidays could be working against you, resulting in increased discomfort when Spring rolls around.

Less pressure in the atmosphere means your body isn’t pumping blood as quickly, and in turn, blood can pool up in the veins despite general swelling not being as prominent. It’s no surprise that we tend to stay put when it’s colder, so it’s extra important to stay hydrated, regularly exercise, and elevate your legs when not walking to keep your circulatory system pumping and compensating for this drop in atmospheric pressure. Diet is another key factor driving the health of your circulatory system, so being wary of overeating around the holidays is something to keep in mind in order to feel your best!

As always, our friendly healthcare professionals here at Tinsley Surgical are ready to answer any questions you have and come up with a holistic care plan to make sure you are staying comfortable and healthy through these frigid months! But if you don't like the way your legs feel or look, call us today and let's get ready for spring and summer in shorts and skirts!

Today marks the start of Winter! We hope everyone is preparing for the cold front this weekend!

October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month, so it is the perfect time to educate our patients about this technology which we utilize every day at Tinsley Surgical. Everyone knows someone who has partaken in an ultrasound, but what exactly do these machines do and why are they so important? Put simply, a diagnostic ultrasound uses sound waves to construct images of structures within the human body to allow medical professionals to look into the body and troubleshoot areas of pain to determine if additional surgery is needed to fix a number of ailments.

Why ultrasound? The imaging made possible by these machines provides us with a noninvasive solution to view the details of soft tissue, veins, organs, and more within your body. Unlike X-Rays, these diagnostic tests do not use any radiation which is harmful to the human body when exposed over a long period of time, allowing thorough examinations without the need for multiple shortened sessions. While mostly associated with pregnancies, this technology has many other applications that help us diagnose and properly treat our vein and vascular patients.

Ultrasounds can detect potentially life-threatening blood clots by imaging arteries and veins to identify areas of the circulatory system with backflow or stoppages of the blood that build up and cause discomfort or pain. Patients with varicose or spider vein issues will find this noninvasive procedure to be the most beneficial way to determine areas of pain before their medical professional helps them determine what action is needed next to get them on the road to recovery!

So next time you meet an ultrasound technician, thank them for all that they do to help improve the quality of life for everyone they treat!
