You may have heard horror stories from your mother or friends about their painful varicose vein treatment experience. As a result you might have put off seeking treatment for your legs. Finally. there is a solution to leg pain and varicose veins covered by most health insurance providers.

If you experience leg discomfort, swelling and varicose veins, you may be suffering from superficial venous reflux disease. Approximately 25 million people in the United States suffer from venous reflux. Traditionally, patients diagnosed with venous reflux would undergo a painful varicose vein stripping surgery. Now, patients can be treated with the Closure Procedure -- a minimally invasive alternative to painful vein stripping surgery.

• Outpatient procedure
• Resume activities typically within a day
