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 lingering discomfort, nighttime restlessness, or visible veins may be signs of an underlying vein condition that can often be treated with modern, minimally invasive care.
At Vein911 Vein Treatment Centers, we combine advanced medical expertise with compassion, innovation, and a patient experience that’s anything but ordinary. Backed by a world-renowned team and award-winning leadership, Vein911 is redefining what it means to receive world-class vein care.
Signs of Restless Leg Syndrome
Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may come and go over time. Common signs of RLS include:
- An irresistible urge to move your legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations
- Creeping, crawling, tingling, pulling, aching, or throbbing feelings in the legs
- Symptoms that worsen in the evening or at night
- Discomfort that starts or gets worse when resting, such as sitting or lying down
- Temporary relief when moving, stretching, walking, or shifting positions
- Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep due to leg discomfort
If these symptoms occur regularly, especially at night, it may be worth exploring whether an underlying issue like poor circulation or vein disease could be contributing to your discomfort.
Diagnosing and Treating Vein Issues Causing RLS
If ultrasound confirms venous insufficiency, your provider may recommend one or more minimally invasive procedures to close or treat malfunctioning veins. These treatments are typically done in-office, require little downtime, and can help restore healthier circulation.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): These minimally invasive treatments use heat energy to close damaged veins so blood can reroute through healthier veins, usually in under an hour with local anesthesia and little downtime.
Foam Sclerotherapy: Foam sclerotherapy uses a specialized injectable foam to seal problem veins, making it a common option for smaller varicose or tributary veins and a helpful add-on to other treatments for optimal results.
VenaSeal™ (Medical Adhesive Closure): VenaSeal™ uses a medical adhesive to close malfunctioning veins and is a non-thermal option that often requires little to no compression afterward, depending on provider protocol.
Microphlebectomy (Ambulatory Phlebectomy): Microphlebectomy removes larger varicose veins through tiny incisions under local anesthesia and is often paired with ablation for more complete symptom relief.

Causes of RLS
At this time, unfortunately, the specific causes of RLS are not known. While research is still being conducted, one theory is that abnormal brain chemicals related to your neurotransmitters that help to control movement may be a causal factor. Another theory is that areas of the central nervous system abnormalities that controls automatic movements may be involved in the condition.
Secondary restless leg syndrome may be a result of another medical condition. Two of the most common medical conditions suggested to be linked to restless legs syndrome are iron-deficiency anemia (or having a abnormally low blood count) and peripheral neuropathy ( a condition often associated with diabetes that involves damage to the nerves in the legs, arms, and especially in the feet.)
It’s important to know though that in many cases the cause of RLS in patients is undiagnosed.
