Vein problems, such as varicose veins, spider veins, and chronic venous insufficiency, can significantly impact your quality of life. Conventional treatments often focus on the symptoms, such as pain and swelling, but at Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond symptom management. Our integrative approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of vein issues to restore proper circulation and promote long-term vascular health naturally.
We treat the whole person—not just the veins.
Vein problems occur when the veins, particularly in the legs, are unable to carry blood back to the heart effectively. This can lead to poor circulation, swelling, pain, and visible veins. Common vein problems include:
These vein issues are often linked to poor blood flow, vein damage, or valve dysfunction in the veins. When left untreated, they can lead to more serious complications, including skin ulcers or blood clots.
Vein problems can present with a range of symptoms, some of which may significantly affect your daily life. Common symptoms include:
If you notice these symptoms, it is essential to seek evaluation and treatment early to avoid further complications.
Functional medicine focuses on identifying the root causes of vein problems, allowing us to create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and underlying factors. Common causes of vein problems include:

Excess weight puts increased pressure on the veins, leading to more severe symptoms. We offer medically supervised weight management programs, including:
Jessica, 45, came to us with visible varicose veins and aching in her legs. She had a family history of vein issues and had been working long hours at a desk job. After testing, we discovered that Jessica had poor circulation and inflammation in her veins, exacerbated by a sedentary lifestyle and hormonal imbalances.
We developed a comprehensive treatment plan for Jessica, which included:
After three months, Jessica’s symptoms had significantly improved. Her legs felt lighter, the pain was reduced, and her varicose veins were less noticeable.
