Varicose veins and spider veins affect a significant portion of adults across the country. According to the Society for Vascular Surgery, approximately 24% of adults in the United States have visible varicose veins, and 6% develop chronic venous disease that can lead to leg swelling, skin discoloration, and venous ulcers if left untreated.
Applied to South Mountain’s population of approximately 129,897, that means roughly 31,175 residents may have visible varicose veins and approximately 7,794 could be living with chronic venous disease.
South Mountain is one of the largest communities in southern Phoenix. Several factors increase the likelihood of developing vein disease, including prolonged standing or sitting, family history, pregnancy, and age. Arizona’s extreme heat also plays a role – high temperatures cause veins to expand, which can worsen symptoms like heaviness, swelling, and visible bulging. Many residents notice their symptoms intensify during the warmer months.
After treatment, South Mountain residents return to the community activities they enjoy:
