Spider & Varicose Veins

Spider & Varicose Veins

Introduction: Why Vein Health Needs a New Approach

Spider and varicose veins affect over 40% of adults, often signaling deeper circulatory issues. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond cosmetic fixes. Our integrative vein care combines:

✔ Minimally invasive treatments (sclerotherapy, laser therapy)
✔ Natural circulatory support (herbs, nutrition, detox)
✔ Root-cause diagnostics (vein mapping, inflammation testing)

We don’t just treat visible veins—we optimize your vascular health.

Common Symptoms Beyond Cosmetic Concerns

Root Causes: Why Do Veins Malfunction?

Functional medicine uncovers hidden contributors:

  • Chronic venous insufficiency (weak valves)
  • Hormonal imbalances (estrogen dominance, pregnancy)
  • Liver congestion (impairs blood detoxification)
  • Chronic inflammation (damages vein walls)
  • Nutrient deficiencies (vitamin C, bioflavonoids, copper)
  • Sedentary lifestyle or prolonged standing
  • Toxin buildup (heavy metals, environmental pollutants)

Diagnostic Testing for Vein Health

We use advanced diagnostics to personalize care:

Doppler ultrasound (maps blood flow & valve function)

Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine)

Hormone panels (estrogen, progesterone balance)

Liver detox capacity tests

Heavy metal toxicity screening

Nutrient analysis (vitamin C, zinc, copper)

Integrative Vein Treatments

Minimally Invasive Procedures

  • Sclerotherapy (gold standard for spider veins)
  • Laser therapy (for surface veins)
  • Radiofrequency ablation (for larger varicose veins)

Natural & Holistic Therapies

  • Horse chestnut extract (aescin reduces swelling)
  • Butcher’s broom (strengthens vein walls)
  • Compression therapy (gradient stockings)
  • Lymphatic drainage massage

IV Nutrient Therapy

  • Vitamin C + bioflavonoids (collagen support)
  • Glutathione (reduces oxidative damage)
  • Magnesium (improves circulation)

Lifestyle & Nutritional Plans

  • Anti-inflammatory diet (high in berries, leafy greens)
  • Hydration protocols
  • Targeted exercise plans (yoga for circulation)

Detox & Liver Support

  • DIM for estrogen metabolism
  • Milk thistle for liver cleansing
