Are you suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) or leg cramps?
Did you know that these symptoms are often caused by vein disease? At Aleman Vein Center, located in Atlanta, Georgia, we offer personalized care and effective treatment options to alleviate your restless legs and cramps in legs or feet at night.
Symptoms of RLS
An irresistible urge to move your legs, especially at night when trying to sleep
May not be painful, but uncomfortable and bothersome
Flexing of the foot and ankle occurring on average every 30 seconds and lasting up to five seconds throughout sleep
Cramps in the legs or feet at night, which can be painful and disruptive to sleep
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes an overwhelming urge to move one’s legs and affects up to 10% of adults in the United States. It typically occurs in the evening or with relaxation. People who suffer from restless leg syndrome describe it as an irresistible urge to get up and move or shake their legs to alleviate the buzzing, tingling, crawling, and restlessness that occurs. For many years, doctors have thought that restless leg syndrome is exclusively a neurological condition. However, several studies over the last decade point to vein disease as a common culprit. Treatment of vein disease, if present, often results in improvement of symptoms and many patients can stop taking medications.
Treatment for RLS and Night Cramps
At Aleman Vein Center, we offer non-surgical venous ablation and sclerotherapy for varicose veins in the legs, which has been shown to provide relief for the majority of patients with restless legs and venous insufficiency in a study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation.
Other remedies that can help reduce RLS symptoms and night cramps include checking for underlying deficiencies, investigating medications that may exacerbate symptoms, reducing alcohol intake, walking or stretching legs, taking a hot bath before bed, applying warm or cold packs to leg muscles, and trying yoga or massage.
