Radio Frequency Occlusion Gaining Popularity
Many people suffering from the pains, aches, and unsightliness of varicose veins often seek out very painful and time consuming vein stripping treatments. Though in recent months the procedure called radio frequency occlusion has become a popular tactic to remove those ropy veins. In fact, people are such fans that the procedure is making headlines on many new stations and organizations nationwide.
WDEF news has reported, "Radio Frequency Closure involves sticking a tiny, special catheter into the diseased vein. Using RF, a small portion of the catheter heats up, causing the vein to collapse. Like other physicians, Dr. Coates says he used to tell patients to elevate their feet, wear support stockings, or exercise more to treat the symptoms of varicose veins. That changed, when he had the procedure done himself. "You dont feel like walking when your legs feel like your carrying 10lbs of ankle weights by 4pm in the afternoon you dont feel like getting out and doing it."
As vein health and varicose vein treatments begin to gain popularity, the 40 million Americans nationwide will hopefully have the pain of venous disease more easily stripped from their bodies. Hopefully vein health awareness gains as much popularity as other diseases.
