End the Pain & Appearance of Varicose Veins – for good!
Morganton - Approximately 25 million Americans suffer from venous reflux disease,
the leading cause of varicose veins. Venous reflux is a condition that develops when the valves
that normally keep blood flowing out of the legs become damaged or diseased causing blood to pool
in the legs. Common symptoms of venous reflux include pain, swelling, leg heaviness and fatigue,
as well as varicose veins in the legs. Traditionally, patients who were diagnosed with venous
reflux would undergo painful vein removal or "vein stripping". Today, patients can
be treated with the VNUS® Closure® system, a minimally invasive alternative to vein
stripping and patients can resume their normal activities usually within 24-48 hours as compared
to 2-4 weeks with traditional vein stripping.
If you suffer from one or more of the symptoms listed above and would like to learn more about the
causes and treatment options for venous reflux and varicose veins, you should attend the free
Varicose Vein Seminar hosted by Dr. David Ellertson, Jr. of Cloud Surgical Solutions on Monday,
April 24 at 6:00 pm in the lobby of his office.
Dr. Ellertson, Jr. is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and specializes in
cardiothoracic, vascular and general surgery. For more information or to reserve seating, please
contact Chasity at (828) 437-0847.
