It’s officially summer! The time of year for swimsuits, shorts, and self-consciousness. No matter how confident I feel, I’m always a little hesitant those first few days of warm weather clothes after snuggling in my sweater and boots all winter long. (And goodness did winter last long this year!)

Spider Veins :: Definitely Not as Cute as The Itsy Bitsy SpiderOne thing that no mama should have to worry about is spider veins!

Many people think that varicose veins, spider veins, and tired legs are just a part of “getting older” or having children. Not so! Venous insufficiency (the cause of these symptoms) is a very treatable condition. Another common assumption is that this is just cosmetic, so we should just deal with it. Again, not so! Varicose veins is a medical condition that can be treated. These treatments are usually covered by insurance.

You may remember your mom or grandma undergoing invasive vein stripping surgery. With advances in medical technology, venous disease  is treated through much less invasive procedures. These procedures can be completed in the comfort of DaVita Medical Group’s medical offices with essentially no downtime or post-procedure restrictions. Most people start to see improvement in their varicose veins, leg pain, and swelling within 1-2 weeks after treatment.

As moms, we know that we must take good care of ourselves in order to take care of our families. It can be difficult to make ourselves a priority when we are up and running from dawn until dusk. We want to have plenty of energy to keep up with our children (especially during the summer), as well as the demands of everyday life. Taking the time to treat spider veins is a simple way to keep us being the moms we want to be.
