Say Goodbye to Varicose and Spider Veins
Unsightly and painful varicose and spider veins can put a damper on an active and healthy lifestyle. Varicose veins develop when blood pools in your veins (venous reflux) due to weak or damaged vein valves causing them to swell. Many factors can raise your risk for developing varicose veins including family history, older age, female gender, pregnancy, obesity, prolonged standing or sitting, blood clots, and prior trauma. They can worsen over time and cause more severe vein disorders if left untreated. CCVV provides minimally-invasive, out-patient varicose and spider vein treatments that take less than 30 minutes and require no down time.
Is PAD preventing you from enjoying life to the fullest?
Aching, throbbing legs, pain and cramping, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning, discolored skin. These are just a few symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD) that may be preventing you from doing the things you love to do. You may be more likely to have PAD if (among other factors), you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes or a history of smoking. Left untreated, PAD can lead to amputation. Early diagnosis is key. In addition to lifestyle changes, CCVV offers state-of-the art, minimally-invasive treatments that can get you back on your feet and enjoying life again.
Know The Stages Of Venous Disease
Know the Stages of Vascular Disease
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a complex disease which affects the anatomy and physiology of the legs. During diagnosis, Dr. Spearman will try to assess the cause and extent of damage to the peripheral system. Conditions may occur singularly or in a combination.
Spider/ Reticular/ Varicose Veins
When blood pools in the lower extremities, it may cause enlarged blue, red or flesh-colored spider or varicose veins.
Swelling/ Edema
Deep venous disease (DVD) may cause uncomfortable swelling in the legs, feet and ankles.
Skin Changes
Color changes in the leg or foot, including redness or blueness, as well as a skin rash and eczema, may occur.
Tired/ Heavy Legs
A general heaviness in the legs and cramping may indicate that blood is not circulating properly.
Exercise Pain
Pain, achiness, frequent cramping or heaviness in the leg muscles that occur when walking or climbing stairs.
Pain at Rest
When significant blockage of the arteries occurs, it may lead to severe pain that can strike during the night or without moving.
Non- Healing Wounds
When blood flow is inadequate, sores ulcers, or wounds on the toes, feet or legs do not heal well, or heal slowly.

From Our Blog
If amputation seems like a treatment that’s only needed after acute trauma, consider this: 54% of all amputations are because of vascular disease. Learning the stages of vascular disease and seeking early treatment is the best way to prevent amputation.
The most unnerving thing about some types of vascular disease is that you won’t know you have the condition until it causes a heart attack or stroke. Learning about vascular disease gives you the advantage you need to take preventive measures.
Is there a difference between varicose veins and spider veins? Do I need to worry if I think I have either of them? What can be done to treat them? These are all very natural, common questions that many people have. Keep reading to find out.
