Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) Treatment in Tampa, FL
Restful Nights. Calmer Legs.
Modern, minimally invasive care for restless, achy, uncomfortable legs—often linked to vein disease.
Restless, Achy, Uncomfortable Legs Aren’t “Just Aging”
If your legs feel heavy, restless, swollen, or achy at the end of the day, it’s easy to assume it’s just part of getting older—or something you have to live with. But ongoing discomfort, nighttime restlessness, or visible veins may point to an underlying vein condition.
At Vein911® Vein Treatment Centers, we specialize in identifying and treating vein-related causes of leg discomfort using advanced, minimally invasive care. Our approach blends medical expertise with compassion, innovation, and a patient experience that feels anything but ordinary.
Signs of Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) symptoms can range from mild to severe and may come and go over time. Common signs include:
- An uncontrollable urge to move your legs
- Creeping, crawling, tingling, pulling, aching, or throbbing sensations
- Symptoms that worsen in the evening or at night
- Discomfort that begins or intensifies while resting
- Temporary relief with movement, stretching, or walking
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep due to leg discomfort
If these symptoms occur regularly—especially at night—it may be worth exploring whether poor circulation or vein disease is contributing to your discomfort.
Diagnosing and Treating Vein Issues Causing RLS
When vein disease is suspected, a venous ultrasound can evaluate blood flow and valve function in the legs. If venous insufficiency is confirmed, treatment focuses on closing or correcting malfunctioning veins to restore healthier circulation.
Most vein treatments are performed in-office, require little downtime, and are well tolerated—allowing many patients to resume normal activities quickly.
Minimally Invasive Treatment Options
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
- Uses controlled heat to close damaged veins so blood reroutes through healthier pathways.
Foam Sclerotherapy
- A specialized injectable foam seals smaller or tributary veins and is often used alongside other treatments.
VenaSeal™ Medical Adhesive Closure
- A non-thermal option that uses medical adhesive to close faulty veins, often with minimal compression afterward.
Microphlebectomy (Ambulatory Phlebectomy)
- Removes larger varicose veins through tiny incisions and is commonly paired with ablation for more complete relief.

Causes of Restless Leg Syndrome
At this time, the exact cause of RLS is not fully understood. One theory suggests abnormal brain chemicals related to movement control may play a role. Another points to dysfunction in areas of the central nervous system that regulate automatic movement.
Secondary RLS may be linked to other medical conditions. Two commonly associated conditions include iron-deficiency anemia and peripheral neuropathy, which is often related to diabetes and involves nerve damage in the legs and feet.
In many cases, however, the cause of RLS remains undiagnosed.
