Leg Cramps & Charley Horses

Conditions

NY & NJ’s Treatment Destination for Leg Cramps

If you’ve ever experienced leg cramps of any degree, you know just how painful and debilitating they can be. You may have even limped to your computer and quickly typed “Leg cramps doctor, now!” Also known as a “charley horse,” they occur when a muscle in the calf suddenly tightens. This spasm can last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. During this time, it’s almost impossible to think of anything but the pain.

Often, leg cramps occur in the calf muscles, but they can occur in the feet and thighs too. In addition, they can strike at night, disrupting sleep and setting you on the wrong foot the next day.

Vessel Insufficiency

Though excruciatingly painful, it’s important to note that leg cramps are not medically harmful. However, regular cramping of the legs is a common symptom of vessel insufficiency (VI).

In healthy circulation, vessels deep within the leg work to circulate blood back to the heart. First, your body removes waste products. Then, “clean” blood replenishes your body and legs with oxygen and nutrients.

In summary, vessel insufficiency (VI) occurs when the vessel in the legs have difficulty pushing blood back to the heart. The vessel walls eventually become weak, and vessel valves are damaged. This damage makes it possible for blood to leak, or flow backward and stay in the vessel.

Chronic vessel insufficiency (CVI) can cause vessel stasis, a condition where the blood pools in the vessel. Pooled blood that’s carrying waste products is depleted of oxygen and essential nutrients, thus causing leg cramps.

Chronic leg cramping is often a result of the body being unable to clean waste from the blood that has pooled in the legs due to weak or damaged vessels.

Although vessel insufficiency often causes varicose veins and spider veins, many patients with VI don’t experience these physical indicators. In fact, leg cramps are often the only symptom of vessel disease—If there are any symptoms at all. Other symptoms of vessel disease vary by patient and should be evaluated by a physician.

Varicose / Spider Veins & Anti-Aging

Your ‘Varicose Veins Doctor Specialist’ Journey Ends Here

When you finally notice what’s been spreading throughout your legs, it’s easy to quickly type ‘varicose veins doctor specialist’ into your browser. After all, why wouldn’t you want both a doctor and a specialist for your varicose veins? Although the terms are often used interchangeably, ‘varicose veins’ and ‘spider veins’ are not the same thing. And that’s okay. We have doctors (And specialists) for both.

Here are some of the key differences between varicose veins and spider veins:

Appearance: Varicose veins are notably large, twisted, bundles of veins that bulge out from under your skin. Less than a third of this size, spider veins appear as small, thin lines that branch out in a spider web pattern.
Symptoms: Other than their appearance, spider veins don’t typically cause any symptoms. On the other hand, varicose veins cause a slew of them. They can often lead to aching, cramping, or swelling in your legs.
Location: Although both of these are visible from the surface of your skin, one runs much deeper than the other. Varicose veins only become visible because they have become so swollen and misshapen over time.

While both conditions are common and generally not dangerous, your quality of life is still important. To treat them, we first need to know what causes them.

What Varicose Veins Doctors and Specialists Know

First, let’s start small with spider veins. Then, we can move on to varicose veins.

In most cases, spider veins are caused by the dilation (Or, the enlargement) of the small blood vessels closest to the surface of your skin. Although the exact cause of spider veins hasn’t quite been determined yet, here are some factors that add to their development:

Age: As we age, the veins in our legs may slowly start to lose their elasticity. In and of itself, this may seem like nothing. However, it prevents blood from flowing to our hearts as efficiently as before. Blood then pools in and enlarges the affected veins.
Genetics: It might be completely outside of your control. Just like high blood pressure or other heart conditions, spider veins tend to run more in some families than others. This suggests genetics plays a bigger role in their development than some may think.
Sun Exposure: Of course, this one is well within your control. Prolonged sun exposure can actually cause our skin to become thinner and our blood vessels to dilate. Over time, this increases the visibility of spider veins just under the surface of our skin.

Of course, there are more factors than just these three. However, these are the big ones you can check for in your own life. Besides, there’s something else you may need a doctor or specialist for—And we touched base on it just above.

With age and other factors, the veins deep within your legs lose their elasticity.

The Root Cause of Varicose Veins

‘Venous insufficiency’ could seem like a complex phrase. Thankfully, it’s not. Let’s look at it in detail. ‘Venous’ simply references your veins. ‘Insufficiency’ is like ‘Inadequate’ or ‘Lacking.’ It’s when the veins in your legs aren’t what they used to be.

Normally, blood circulates through your heart before it travels to other parts of your body. Your legs have valves in their blood vessels that aid in recirculating that blood back to the heart—It’s quite a distance to go against gravity. So, think of these valves as pit stops. With time, they wear out and stop working the same way. Waste products and blood that require filtration start to build up within your legs. This is the root cause of varicose veins, and it also contributes to spider veins.

As we said before, neither of these conditions are life-threatening, but they do pose a serious threat to the overall quality of your life. We not only want you to be comfortable in your own skin, but we want to help with any aching, cramping, or swelling.

You deserve the best. So, we’ll give you the best. After an easy 10-minute ultrasound, we’ll know exactly what to do.

Treating Spider Veins: This one’s easy. Sclerotherapy. We’ll inject a unique foam into the affected veins. After which, they will close and direct blood back to healthy veins.
Treating Varicose Veins: This one’s a little more in-depth but just as easy. Endovenous radiofrequency ablation uses radiofrequency energy to heat affected veins. This causes them to close the same way sclerotherapy works on spider veins, re-directing blood.

The best part? With both treatments, you’ll be out in no time. And they’re covered by most insurances and unions.

So, we look forward to hearing from you.

IV Hydration Therapy: The What, How, and Why

IV hydration — also known as intravenous hydration — can speed up the recovery process and improve your overall health by boosting your body’s ability to absorb fluids and electrolytes through vitamin rehydration.

In fact, vitamin rehydration therapy involves a variety of vitamins and minerals. Among the most common are vitamin C, vitamin B12, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

Today’s Unique IV Hydration Treatment

In a doctor’s office or hospital setting, IV hydration is a safe and effective way to replenish fluids and electrolytes. A needle or catheter is inserted into a vein to deliver fluids and electrolytes directly into the bloodstream. During this process, fluids are replenished and electrolytes are replaced.

Historically, patients suffering from dehydration, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, heat stroke, sepsis, and a host of other conditions can benefit from the use of this medication.

Fast forward to today, and now all types of individuals seek routine IV hydration for rapid rehydration, improved electrolyte balance, reduced dehydration complications, and overall health and wellbeing. Americans don’t get enough vitamins and nutrients from their diet to stay healthy and to look and feel good.

It’s different for everyone, but most people could benefit from more magnesium, vitamins B, B12, and C, zinc, and a host of other nutrients.

IV Hydration Through Vitamins, Nutrients, & Antioxidants

IV hydration plays a huge role in the lives and healthy lifestyles of so many adults today. Rehydration has the advantage of delivering vitamins, minerals, nutrients and antioxidants quickly and efficiently throughout your entire body.

You don’t have to wait hours and hours for your body to digest and benefit from vitamin pills. You feel the effects of IV hydration immediately after receiving it.

Individual needs determine which vitamins and minerals are used. There is generally no risk associated with vitamin rehydration therapy. However, if you have any underlying health conditions, you should speak to your doctor before starting any rehydration therapy.

You can make sure your immune system is prepared for anything by choosing to rehydrate. Nutrition and vitamin rehydration can help you stay healthy when combined with other commonsense measures.

Don’t Skip Your Usual Rehydration Routine

IV hydration is extremely beneficial, but remember that water is the best fluid for preventing dehydration. The over-consumption of caffeine or alcohol can cause dehydration.. You may also want to consume lots of fruits and vegetables, which contain heavy amounts of water.

In addition, dress in layers to allow you to adjust your clothing as the temperature changes. Avoid strenuous activity in hot weather and take cool showers or baths. Also be sure to drink plenty of fluids if you’re sick. You must replace fluids and electrolytes lost from bouts of vomiting or diarrhea.

If you want an extra boost beyond following a hydration-healthy routine, you should look into IV hydration. The process itself will take a different amount of time for each person, according to that individual’s needs. Generally, fluids and electrolytes are administered within 30 to 45 minutes (or one hour).

IV hydration provides your body with numerous benefits. In addition to replenishing nutrients that have been depleted due to illness, injury, or other factors, they also improve electrolyte balance, which is essential for many bodily functions.

This type of rehydration can also reduce inflammation — inflammation worsens a variety of health conditions — and improve your energy levels.

IV hydration therapy includes a number of vitamins, including vitamin C (which protects cells from damage and promotes immunity); vitamin B12 (which produces red blood cells and regulates nerve function); magnesium (which relaxes muscles and regulates blood sugar); potassium (which helps control fluid balance and blood pressure); and sodium (which regulates fluid balance and nerve function).

IV Hydration: For Those Needing the Extra Boost

Sometimes you just need a bit more energy to get through a busy day, week, or month — and IV hydration can provide it. You’ll feel 100-percent rejuvenated and ready for a big day or a big week with a blast of vitamins and fluids.

It’s important to remember that IV hydration involves delivering nutrients, vitamins, electrolytes, and antioxidants intravenously to restore and detoxify the body. Even so, drinking plenty of water and eating healthy on your own is always a wise idea.

For those who run fast, work hard, and play even harder, as well as for those who just need a random pick-me-up, being able to schedule rehydration therapy selectively on a flexible basis is an excellent opportunity. If you feel your body needs fast hydration and rejuvenation, schedule an appointment now to give it the nutrients and fluids it needs.

Wellness and Pain Can Help

A range of IV hydration treatment options are available at Wellness and Pain. We offer minimally invasive quick-recovery rehydration therapy to get you feeling great again. With these, we can help alleviate that lethargic and tired feeling you sometimes get — as well as other nutrition problems — by helping in the management of your hydration and vitamin intake properly.

We personalize patient care plans based on each patient’s condition and unique circumstances to improve your range of motion, energy, and your health.
