Expert Treatment for Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are veins in the superficial compartment of the leg that have become enlarged, swollen, twisted, and/or bulging due to venous reflux disease. The visible veins can be many colors but are most commonly red, blue or flesh-toned. The bulging veins most often appear on the thighs, back of the calves, and the inside of the legs.

Before & After

StrideCare, formerly Hamilton Vascular, is your premier vein center for venous disease treatment. Our results speak for themselves.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are caused by malfunction and damage of valves in veins of the lower half of the body. As a result of damaged valves, blood flows forwards but also backwards, in the wrong direction (reflux). This reversal of flow leads to pooling of backed-up blood, which then causes veins to bulge, stretch and enlarge. This abnormal process is a medical condition called venous reflux or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).

What are Varicose Vein Risk Factors?

Genetics play a major role in development of varicose veins.
Hormonal changes and pregnancy are a big factor as to why women are more prone to get varicose veins than men.
Age: Vein and valve function may be deranged over time.
Weight can increase venous pressure in the legs and lower half of the body.
Standing or sitting for long periods.
Pregnant women may experience varicose veins in the vaginal, pelvic and buttocks area.

What are Varicose Vein Symptoms?

Varicose veins can cause a variety of symptoms that range from mild to severe and are not limited to just unsightly bulging.

How are Varicose Veins Treated?

Advances in image-guided minimally invasive ablation technologies have led to the development of procedures such as RF Ablation treatment. There is no longer a need for the previous standard of vein stripping which was not only painful but required a prolonged recovery period.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for small varicose veins. Foam sclerotherapy is very safe as it quickly dilutes when it gets to the deeper venous circulation. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy can be used to treat deeper veins that are underneath the skin at various depths.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive outpatient treatment that treats superficial veins that are not functioning properly that could be causing pain in legs, swelling, discoloration, unhealing wounds by using radiofrequencies.

Microfoam Ablation

Microfoam Ablation is a minimally invasive outpatient treatment that treats superficial veins that are not functioning properly that could be causing pain in legs, swelling, discoloration, unhealing wounds by using a pharmaceutical foam.

At StrideCare, formerly known as Hamilton Vascular, our vein specialists will take the time to answer your questions about varicose vein treatments. We will perform and interpret your ultrasound during your initial consultation. If lower extremity venous insufficiency is present, appropriate treatment options, including conservative and minimally invasive therapy, will be discussed and personalized for you.

Our doctors are experienced at image guided procedures and ultrasound interpretation, providing you with the safest choice for successful minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins and vein disease.

I love coming here! Continuous, awesome care and customer service/patient care and they’re just amazing …everybody there I can’t say enough, and they keep you informed of every step. Communication is spot on when they’re doing a procedure and they are very concerned about your comfort and well-being! I look forward to being healthier and having better circulation in my legs, no more ulcers and both Dr. Parker’s and their wonderful staff!! Thank you for today, Krystal and let’s hope we can get some approvals down to get my right leg on the right track!

I was referred to Dr Mary Parker because they specialize in my issue - blood clots and tiny veins. Everyone was welcoming and supportive. Having multiple issues, I've interacted with many health care providers that behave as though I was trying to lie to them about what was going on. No one there made me feel that way.

Very pleased with the care I was given. Everyone was professional, kind, and informative. I’m the type to ask a lot of questions and I felt like the providers & techs took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed or uncomfortable. I’m still healing but I’m confident that we made the right choice with the procedures that were recommended for me. I started to notice relief from the heaviness and discomfort in my legs after my first treatment. I would definitely recommend to those I know who are suffering similar vein issues.

First time in the practice. Each and everyone was very nice, very knowledgeable, very professional. I feel confident in my treatment plan and feel it is comprehensive and complete. After having my procedures, I believe this is the absolute best vein practice in San Antonio. Not just the best in San Antonio; but, also throughout the region.
