Varicose Vein Treatments
Montgomery Vascular Care offers personal, individualized care for patients with vein disease. We use a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to treat aesthetic and therapeutic problems. Vein conditions and their treatments are often more complex than they appear. Beyond obvious leg swelling or varicose veins, symptoms may include aching, cramping, heaviness, tired or restless legs, itching, tingling, and burning, as well as skin changes, scaly rashes, and slow or non-healing wounds.

What We Offer…
Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation
Endovenous radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment utilizing thermal energy. It involves the insertion of a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) into a refluxing or backward-flowing vein to seal it shut using heat. Blood is re-routed into normal, healthy veins, alleviating reflux symptoms. Over time, the treated vein shrinks and is absorbed by the body. Compared to surgical options such as ligation and vein stripping, endovenous ablation results in less pain and has a quicker recovery time.
Microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive technique used to remove unsightly or painful bulging leg veins. It is the recommended treatment for large surface varicose veins. Removal of these veins with microphlebectomy often results in quicker healing, less pain, and a better cosmetic outcome than other treatments. Performed through tiny nicks in the skin, microphlebectomy is far less invasive than surgical stripping. Recovery is more rapid, and most patients do not need to interrupt regular activity after microphlebectomy.
Compression Therapy
Venous insufficiency, which can lead to the development of varicose veins, can also cause edema (swelling). Edema is caused by a back-up of blood and increased pressure in the veins, a problem that is localized to the legs, ankles, and feet; one leg may be more affected than the other (asymmetrical edema). Compression therapy provides a means to treat venous stasis, venous hypertension, and venous edema. Objectives of compression therapy are to reduce the swollen limb to minimum size, maintain that size, and allow the patient to participate in the care of his or her limb whenever possible. Treatments can include exercise, wrapping, massage, compression stockings, and a compression pump. Graduated compression therapy gives support to the legs and helps improve circulation back to the heart. Though this treatment may provide symptomatic relief to your leg pain, it does not prevent or cure varicose veins.
