Why It’s Important to Treat Veins?
When blood doesn’t flow properly from your veins back to your heart, it’s usually due to valves not working as they should. What happens next is that the blood pools in the area, which can lead to painful conditions. Treat veinous insufficiency and other vein disorders quickly to avoid lengthy and increasingly more painful problems.

What Are the Potential Issues with My Veins?
When vein valves stop functioning properly or blockages occur, blood can start to flow backward or pool in certain areas.
This can lead to a variety of issues, including:
- Varicose veins
- Spider veins
- Swelling
- Venous ulcers
- Blood clots
- Leg heaviness or discomfort
- Skin discoloration
- Pain or throbbing in the legs
- Itchy or irritated skin
- Swollen ankles
If you’re dealing with any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek treatment to restore healthy blood flow and avoid further complications.
How Do I Know There’s a Vein Problem?
When you have a vein condition, you may start noticing certain signs—some are easy to spot, while others are more subtle.
Here are a few symptoms to watch for:
- Varicose veins that look like twisted ropes
- Spider veins that resemble a delicate web
- A venous stasis ulcer or an open sore on your leg
- A bruise around your ankle that you don’t remember getting
- A pins-and-needles sensation in your legs or arms
- Brittle toenails
- Feeling unusually tired, especially in your limbs
If any of these sound familiar, it’s a good idea to see a vein specialist. Dr. Sobolevsky offers treatments to not only address the symptoms but also tackle the root cause. No matter what your vein issue is, the Downtown Vein & Vascular Center has effective solutions to help you feel better.
What Are Common Treatment Options for Veins at the Downtown Vein & Vascular Center?

- Radiofrequency ablation
- Endovascular therapy
- Sclerotherapy for varicose veins and spider veins
- Vascular and arterial embolization
