Vein Treatments at Metro Pain Centers
You stopped wearing shorts two summers ago. The varicose veins running down your left calf are not just cosmetic anymore -- your leg aches by mid-afternoon, and the swelling makes it hard to stand through a full workday. Compression stockings help for an hour. Then the heaviness returns.
What Are Vein Treatments at Metro Pain Centers?
Vein treatment is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and correcting venous insufficiency -- the condition in which damaged vein valves allow blood to pool in the legs rather than returning efficiently to the heart. Untreated venous insufficiency causes varicose veins, spider veins, swelling, pain, and skin changes.
Metro Pain Centers performs vein treatments using techniques including endovenous thermal ablation -- a procedure that uses radiofrequency or laser energy delivered through a thin catheter to seal damaged veins from the inside. Blood reroutes naturally through healthy veins nearby.
The practice treats vein conditions within a comprehensive pain management framework. Our physicians address both the vascular problem and any associated leg pain, swelling, or skin complications.
How This Treatment Helps
Our physicians use the latest techniques and technology to deliver precise, effective pain relief with minimal downtime.

How It Works
Venous ultrasound evaluation
Your physician performs a duplex ultrasound to map the veins in your legs. Metro Pain Centers identifies which veins are damaged, where the valves have failed, and the pattern of blood flow reversal.
Treatment planning
Based on your ultrasound results, the practice recommends a tailored treatment approach. Options include endovenous thermal ablation, sclerotherapy, or ambulatory phlebectomy. We explain the procedure, expected results, and recovery for each option.
In-office procedure
Your physician performs the vein treatment under local anesthesia in the office. Endovenous ablation takes 30 to 45 minutes. A thin catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to seal the damaged vein. You walk out of the office immediately after.
Follow-up and confirmation
Metro Pain Centers schedules a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the treated vein has sealed. Additional treatment sessions may be recommended if multiple veins require attention. Most patients complete treatment in one to three visits.
Benefits of Vein Treatments for Pain Relief
End the Daily Aching and Heaviness
Tired of legs that throb every afternoon? Metro Pain Centers uses vein treatments to seal the damaged veins causing blood to pool in your legs. Once blood flows through healthy veins, the aching and heaviness resolve.
Get Back to Normal Immediately
Vein stripping required weeks of recovery. The practice uses endovenous ablation and sclerotherapy that let you walk out of the office and return to work the next day. No bed rest. No general anesthesia.
Restore Confidence in Your Appearance
Varicose veins change the way you dress and how you feel in public. Metro Pain Centers eliminates visible varicose and spider veins through minimally invasive procedures. Your legs look and feel better within weeks of treatment.
What to Expect During Vein Treatment
Before your procedure
Wear loose-fitting pants or shorts to your appointment. Metro Pain Centers performs a diagnostic ultrasound at your first visit. Avoid applying lotion to your legs on the day of treatment.
During the procedure
Your physician numbs the treatment area with a local anesthetic. A thin catheter or needle is used to treat the affected vein. You may feel mild warmth or tingling during endovenous ablation. The procedure takes 30 to 45 minutes.
After the procedure
You walk immediately after treatment. Metro Pain Centers provides compression stockings to wear for one to two weeks. Mild bruising is normal and resolves within days. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for one week. Most patients return to work the following day.
