75% OF AMERICANS WILL DEVELOP VEIN DISEASE IN THEIR LIFETIME

Vein disease is genetic and 3 out of 4 Americans develop vein disease in their lifetime. Many do not realize they are suffering from vein related problems because 50% of patients with vein disease NEVER develop a bulging varicose vein! Many patients and their physicians are unaware of the signs and symptoms of vein disease.

You could be silently suffering from vein disease if you have ANY of the below symptoms: 

• Itching
• Heavy Legs, Tired Legs
• Aching Legs, Painful Legs, Tender Legs
• Burning
• Leg Numbness, Leg Tingling, Pins and Needles in your Legs
• Night Leg Cramps
• Restless Legs
• Spider Veins, especially below your knees or near your ankles are a sign of MEDICAL vein disease
• Varicose Veins
• Ankle Swelling
• Skin Discoloration, any darkening of your skin near your ankles
• Bleeding Veins
• Leg Ulcer, Slow to Heal or Non-Healing Leg Wounds

Dr. Pittman and his staff of Vein Care Specialists have successfully helped over 8,000 patients nationwide, get the relief they deserve from vein disease. Stop living with lifestyle limiting and life shortening symptoms.

Everybody knows what a varicose vein is. It’s a bulging vein on the skin but the truth is, half of people with lifestyle limiting symptoms in their legs have no bulging varicose vein, so I don’t like to refer to what I do as fixing varicose veins because we’re going to miss half the patients, Dr. Pittman explains. Venous insufficiency is really where our valves and our veins fail, and when they fail, the blood goes the wrong way. I often introduce myself as Dr. Pittman, the Plumber guy because vein disease is a leak in the attic, flood in the basement.

Vein disease causes all sorts of symptoms. It’s the leading cause of ankle swelling in this country; three out of four people that come through my office door have detectable swelling. It’s a leading cause of restless legs, which affects eight percent of Americans. It’s the leading cause of night cramps. So again, that’s why I try not to talk so much about varicose veins because we’re going to miss a lot of suffering patients out there if we only talk about varicose veins.
