What Types of Pain and Vein Conditions Do You Treat?

At our vein and pain treatment clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating various conditions related to both veins and pain. For vein-related issues, we treat conditions like varicose veins, spider veins, venous insufficiency, and chronic venous disorders. These can cause discomfort, swelling, and visible vein bulging, often leading to further complications if left untreated. Our advanced diagnostic tools, such as duplex ultrasound, allow us to provide a thorough and accurate diagnosis, helping to create a personalized treatment plan.

On the pain side, we address various chronic pain conditions affecting different parts of the body, including back, knee, shoulder, and hip pain. Whether you’re dealing with osteoarthritis, tendonitis, or more complex issues like herniated discs, our pain treatment specialists have the expertise and resources to provide relief. We offer comprehensive pain treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. If you’re dealing with any of these issues, contact us to schedule a consultation and learn more about the pain treatments we offer.

What Are the Most Common Treatments Offered?

At VIP Medical Group, we offer an array of minimally invasive vein treatments for both vein and pain conditions. For vein-related issues, the most common vein treatments include:

• Sclerotherapy: A procedure where a solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. It’s a common treatment for spider veins.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): A technique that uses laser energy to close off varicose veins, providing relief from pain and improving the appearance of veins.
• VenaSeal: A treatment that uses a medical adhesive to close off varicose veins, offering a non-surgical option with quick recovery times.
• ClariVein: A minimally invasive treatment that combines mechanical and chemical processes to close off varicose veins.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: A procedure to remove larger varicose veins through small incisions.

When it comes to pain treatments, we specialize in a wide variety of options for different types of pain, including:

• Epidural Injections: Used to treat neck and back pain, these injections provide relief by delivering a steroid directly to the source of pain.
• Facet Joint Injections: Commonly used for arthritis or facet joint dysfunction in the spine, providing relief from back and neck pain.
• Trigger Point Injections: Used to treat muscle knots and chronic pain in muscles.
• Viscosupplementation: A knee pain treatment where hyaluronic acid is injected into the knee joint to lubricate it and provide relief from arthritis pain.
• Thermal and Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation: A technique that uses heat or cold to interrupt pain signals from specific nerves, helping to relieve chronic pain.

Are Your Procedures Minimally Invasive?

Yes! All of the treatments we offer at our vein and pain treatment clinic are minimally invasive. This is one of the features that sets our clinic apart from others. For vein treatments, procedures like sclerotherapy, EVLA, and VenaSeal are performed through small incisions or injections, meaning there’s no need for large cuts or lengthy recovery times. These procedures target the problem area effectively while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.

For pain treatments, we also focus on minimally invasive procedures like epidural injections, facet joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation, which require no major surgeries. These treatments are performed in a sterile office setting with local anesthesia, ensuring that you can go home the same day. Whether you’re seeking knee pain treatment, back pain treatment, shoulder pain treatment, or hip pain treatment, you can trust that our minimally invasive pain treatments can get you back to feeling your best quickly.

Do You Accept Insurance for Pain and Vein Treatments?

One of the biggest concerns for patients seeking treatment is whether insurance will cover the costs. At VIP Medical Group, we work with over 100 medical insurances, making it easier for you to get the care you need. Most of our pain treatments, including those for knee pain, back pain, and other chronic conditions, are covered by medical insurance when deemed medically necessary. Similarly, many vein treatments, such as EVLA, sclerotherapy, and VenaSeal, may be covered, depending on your insurance plan and the severity of your condition.

To make things even easier, our staff will verify your insurance details before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect. We are committed to providing affordable access to high-quality care and working with you to ensure you get the necessary treatments without the financial burden. Contact us to verify your insurance details and find out what your plan covers.

How Long Does Recovery Take for These Procedures?

The recovery time for our minimally invasive vein and pain treatments is generally very short compared to traditional surgery. After vein treatments like sclerotherapy or EVLA, many patients resume normal activities immediately, although we recommend avoiding strenuous activities for a few days. Ambulatory phlebectomy may require a few days of rest, but most patients feel ready to return to work or light activities the same day.

Recovery times for pain treatments like epidural injections or facet joint injections vary, but many patients feel relief within a few days. In some cases, it can take a few weeks to experience the full benefits, especially with treatments like radiofrequency ablation. Regardless of the pain treatment, our knee pain doctor, hip pain doctor, or neck pain specialist will provide clear instructions on post-procedure care to ensure a smooth recovery. If you’re concerned about recovery times, visit your nearest pain clinic and discuss your concerns with our team.
