Frequently Asked Questions
Can vein treatment really fix restless legs?
Yes — multiple peer-reviewed studies show that 80%+ of patients with venous reflux experience significant improvement in restless-legs symptoms after endovenous ablation, often within 4–8 weeks.
How do I know if my restless legs are vein-related?
A simple in-office venous duplex ultrasound can confirm or rule out venous reflux in about 30 minutes. We perform this on-site.
Is the evaluation covered by insurance?

What if my ultrasound is normal?
We'll coordinate with your primary care provider for further workup, including iron levels, sleep evaluation, or neurological referral if needed.
