Spider Vein Treatment - Which Option is Best For You With clinics in Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Chesapeake, Atlantic Vein & Vascular Associates can provide treatments to residents in Hampton Roads and northeastern North Carolina for relief from the unsightly look of spider and varicose veins to diagnosing and treating more painful and life-threatening issues such as aortic aneurysm, arterial disease and carotid disease. Their practice includes expertly trained, board certified vascular surgeons working alongside a skilled and caring staff that utilizes state-of-the-art technology to provide patients with outstanding care. Through Vascular Ultrasound, a non-invasive method used to monitor and observe the blood flow in veins and arteries, Atlantic Vein & Vascular Associates can use sound waves to detect the speed of the blood within a blood vessel and can measure the diameter of blood vessels located in your arms, legs, abdomen and neck. When a blockage is present in a blood vessel, the speed of the blood flow increases. The vascular ultrasound can report this information to your doctor, who can then customize a treatment plan just for you. In addition, the skilled specialists at Atlantic Vein & Vascular Associates can provide dialysis access for kidney patients in a number of ways including fistula, graft and tunnel dialysis catheters. Each method provides a port for kidney patients to receive dialysis on a regular basis without needing to create a new access site each time the patient receives treatment. Vascular surgeons manage veins and arteries in every part of the body except the brain and heart. Although vascular surgeons can perform surgery, many of the treatment plans they may recommend could include medicine or various forms of exercise. Patients are typically referred to a vascular surgeon by their primary care physician. However, if you are in a high-risk category—smoker, diabetic and/or have high blood pressure—you may be a good candidate for a visit.
