Occupations that require prolonged periods of time spent either standing or sitting are both common causes of varicose veins, and can put those who do it at serious risk for developing them. Although, there may be other contributing factors for developing varicose or spider veins, working in a job that requires extended sitting or standing increases the chances of developing them, or aggravating existing ones.
Sitting in the same position with limited movement, or standing, especially on hard surfaces, can restrict circulation and can cause blood to pool in the legs, leading to varicose and spider veins. However, certain steps can be taken to help reduce the risk of developing them.
Although no preventative measures can make varicose veins go away once they appear, two highly effective, non-surgical laser vein removal treatment options are available today. These treatments performed by a varicose vein specialist include, sclerotherapy for varicose veins and endovenous laser ablation.
Both methods can be completed in the varicose vein specialist’s office, in just minutes per leg. Because no scalpels or sutures are utilized in either treatment, there are no long-lasting scars or keloids. There’s minimal discomfort, and most treatments are characterized as being virtually painless. With these modern therapies, most people can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment. Additionally, most major health insurance carriers provide coverage for the treatment of vein disease and venous insufficiency when medically necessary.
