It is estimated
that more than 80 million Americans suffer from some form of venous disorder. The
most common venous disorders are spider and varicose veins. If left untreated,
they can pose a serious health risk over time. However, just because a doctor
or facility claims to be vein specialists, doesn’t mean that they have the
appropriate training and equipment to treat these conditions safely and
effectively. It is important that you do your research before proceeding.
Being aware of the advances in the industry
and qualifications necessary for venous treatment is essential to ensuring you receive
safe, effective results. There are many new technologies used which are
painless, quick and require no vein stripping. Using these technologies in the qualified
hands, you should experience rapid relief of symptoms. Today, all procedures can
be performed in-office with local anesthesia and minimal downtime. There is no
hospitalization required.
With all the choices available for the
management of vein problems, one of the most important steps in seeking
treatment is finding the right vein specialist. Here are a few tips you should
look into when choosing who will perform your vein procedure:
• Board Certified – Board certified doctors are
held to a higher standard as they have established a certain level of expertise
within their chosen field.
• RVT or RPVI Certified – A Registered
Physician in Vascular Interpretation or Registered Vascular Technologist
certification was developed for physicians who practice in a non-invasive
vascular laboratory. This gives him the skills and knowledge to perform
vascular ultrasound in the diagnosis of vein disease and accurately
interpret the test results in the determination of most optimal treatment
protocol. This ultrasound credential from the American Registry for Diagnostic
Medical Sonography (ARDMS) is considered the global standard.
• Board Certified Phlebologist – A medical
specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of venous diseases issued through the
American Board of Phlebology. A significant part of a phlebologist's work is
involved with spider and varicose veins in the legs.
