Conditions

RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME

Restless leg syndrome (RLS), which is also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common condition that causes unpleasant sensations in the legs. People who suffer from RLS feel an uncontrollable urge to move their legs as a result of these uncomfortable feelings. The problem is once movement ceases, the feelings of discomfort resume. With as much as 10% of the U.S. population afflicted by RLS, the condition has been known to directly affect sleep quality, decreased productivity at work, and even contributing to depression and anxiety.

What Causes Restless Leg Syndrome?

In many cases, the cause of RLS can be attributed to genetic factors and can be found in families where the onset of symptoms occurs before the age of 40. There are a number of other causes for Restless Leg Syndrome including:
  • Venous Insufficiency:Many restless leg sufferers display chronic venous insufficiency, a medical condition where the veins fail to adequately circulate the blood. Because this happens more often in the extremities, failure to restore tissues with oxygen-rich blood and other nutrients can contribute to developing restless leg syndrome.
  • Neuropathy:Also known as peripheral neuropathy, this is a condition that causes pain, buzzing and feelings of discomfort which are difficult to bear. The chronic pain is typically caused by damage to the nerves as a result of diabetes, chemo therapy, injuries, infections, and exposure to certain toxins.

Symptoms of Restless Leg Syndrome

Many of our patients come to us suffering from various, uncomfortable symptoms of restless leg syndrome. Some of the most common complaints include:
  • A feeling of heaviness in the legs
  • Aching, throbbing leg pain
  • Difficulty standing for long periods
  • Swelling in the feet and ankles
  • Tired legs
  • Ulcers, sores, or wounds that take very long to heal
  • Skin darkening or discoloration, especially around the ankles
  • Varicose and spider veins
Other factors such as obesity, pregnancy, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and standing for long periods can greatly increase the risk of developing the symptoms above.

Vein Treatment Options at Atlanta Medical Clinic

ClariVein®IC

ClariVein®IC is a minimally invasive, new technique for the treatment of varicose veins or spider veins. Using a controlled 360-degree dispersion of physician-specified agents, ClariVein®IC is designed to reduce pain and discomfort, eliminate bruising, speed up recovery and deliver clinically proven results for varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy uses a tiny needle to place a sclerosant solution into the varicose veins. This causes the veins to collapse, close, and get absorbed into the body.

Sclerotherapy is done in our clinic and patients can facilitate a quick return to work and regular activities. After the procedure, the treated area is wrapped. Compression stockings can be worn for several days after treatment.
