Vascular Interventional & Vein Associates

Time to retire a myth your grandmother probably told you: crossing your legs does not give you varicose veins.

The real culprits are things largely outside your control - family history, age, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and jobs that keep you on your feet for hours. So go ahead and sit however is comfortable.

What you can control is getting them checked when they start to ache or swell. If your legs are telling you something, we are happy to listen. Book at vivamyveins.com or call 772-567-8482.

A sore on your lower leg or ankle that lingers for weeks is not something to just bandage and hope about. Often, these wounds are caused by veins or arteries that are not moving blood the way they should.

When circulation is poor, skin does not get the oxygen it needs to heal, so a small scrape can turn into a stubborn ulcer. The encouraging part: once we identify and treat the underlying vascular cause, these wounds usually improve.

If you have a leg wound that has not healed in two weeks, please have it evaluated. Call 772-567-8482 to be seen.

People often use the terms interchangeably, but spider veins and varicose veins are not the same thing.

Spider veins are those fine red or blue lines that sit just under the skin, usually on the legs or face. They are mostly a cosmetic concern and respond well to a quick in-office treatment called sclerotherapy.

Varicose veins are larger, raised, and rope-like. They can ache, throb, or swell, and they sometimes point to a deeper circulation issue worth evaluating.

Not sure which you have? A painless vascular ultrasound gives us a clear answer. Call 772-567-8482 to book a look.

Expert vascular care should be close to home. That is why we see patients at two convenient Treasure Coast offices.

Fort Pierce - call 772-801-2108.

Both offices offer in-office ultrasound and minimally invasive treatment, so you can get answers and care in one comfortable place. Prefer to book online? Visit vivamyveins.com anytime. We look forward to seeing you.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the body's largest artery. It often causes no symptoms at all, which is exactly what makes screening so valuable - we would much rather find it early than in an emergency.

Screening is worth asking about if you are a man over 65, if you have ever smoked, or if aneurysms run in your family. The check itself is a simple, painless ultrasound that takes just a few minutes.

Talk with Dr. Ramdev about whether a screening is right for you. Call 772-801-2108 or request an appointment at vivamyveins.com.
