Healthy Legs Begin With Wellness

Healthy Legs Begin
With Wellness

Obesity can have a significant impact on your vein health, contributing to varicose veins, swelling, and discomfort in the legs.

At NJ Vein Care and Aesthetics Center in Clifton, New Jersey, vascular surgeon Gary Nackman, MD, FACS, provides expert evaluation and guidance for patients whose weight may be affecting circulation. Excess weight increases pressure on the veins in the lower body, making it harder for blood to return efficiently to the heart. This can lead to venous insufficiency, varicose veins, fatigue, and even skin changes over time. Many patients notice heaviness, aching, or swelling that worsens throughout the day, especially after standing or sitting for long periods.

Dr. Nackman takes a personalized approach, assessing your vein health alongside overall wellness factors to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Through careful evaluation, minimally invasive procedures, and lifestyle recommendations, patients can relieve symptoms and support healthier veins. Addressing weight-related vein issues early can prevent complications, improve comfort, and enhance mobility for everyday activities.

How We Treat Obesity-Related Vein Issues

At NJ Vein Care, treatment for vein problems related to obesity begins with a thorough assessment of vein function using advanced imaging.

Minimally invasive procedures such as RF ablation, Varithena®, VenaSeal®, microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy may be recommended to close or remove problematic veins and improve circulation. Compression therapy and lifestyle modifications, including weight management, diet, and regular exercise, are incorporated to support healthy veins and reduce strain. For patients with advanced symptoms or skin changes, advanced wound care may be provided to protect the legs and promote healing.

Each plan is carefully customized based on your vein anatomy, overall health, and lifestyle goals, ensuring safe and effective results. By treating both the veins and the contributing factors, patients experience relief from discomfort, swelling, and fatigue. These comprehensive interventions help restore healthier, more comfortable legs, making everyday movement easier and more enjoyable.

Making an appointment at this office was easy and painless. The office staff was courteous, kind, and helpful. Outgoing and made my visit a great experience. Dr. Nackman was great, personable, did the sonogram of my legs and gave me answers right then and there followed up with any suggestions needed. Very professional and I would recommend this office and this doctor if you are looking for a Vascular Surgeon/Specialist.
