Vein Screenings
Do you experience leg pain, swelling, aching, or visible veins? These symptoms could be early warning signs of venous disease, a condition that affects blood flow and can lead to varicose veins, chronic discomfort, and even more serious complications if left untreated.
At Midwest Vein & Laser, we offer comprehensive vein screenings to diagnose venous conditions early and provide expert treatment or referral when needed.
Call 800-515-4295 today to schedule your vein screening and take control of your vein health.
Signs You May Need a Vein Screening
If you experience any of the following symptoms, a vein screening can help determine if you have venous disease:
- Swelling in the legs or ankles that worsens throughout the day
- Aching, throbbing, or heaviness in the legs
- Restless legs, itching, or burning sensations
Visible varicose or spider veins - Skin discoloration or thickening around the lower legs and ankles
- Slow-healing sores (venous ulcers)
- A history of blood clots (DVT) or family history of vein disease
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening circulation, skin damage, and an increased risk of venous ulcers or serious complications. The earlier vein disease is detected, the easier it is to treat.

Vein Screenings
What Happens During a Vein Screening?
A vein screening at Midwest Vein & Laser is a quick, non-invasive evaluation to assess your vein health. During your visit, our experienced team will:
- Review your medical history and symptoms – We’ll ask about your leg discomfort, visible veins, and any family history of vein disease.
- Perform a visual vein assessment – Our specialists will examine your legs to check for visible signs of vein disease, such as swelling or discoloration.
- Use advanced ultrasound imaging (if needed) – If necessary, we’ll use non-invasive ultrasound technology to examine blood flow in your veins and detect issues like venous reflux or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- Provide expert recommendations – If vein disease is present, we will discuss your treatment options or provide a referral for hospital-based care if needed.
This entire process is painless and takes less than 30 minutes, giving you a clear understanding of your vein health and next steps.
What If Vein Disease is Found?
Midwest Vein & Laser offers a range of minimally invasive vein treatments, including:
- Sclerotherapy – Treats small varicose and spider veins with simple, effective injections.
- Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA/EVLT) – A laser-based treatment that closes diseased veins and reroutes blood flow to healthier veins.
- Varithena Foam Therapy – A specialized foam injection that collapses large varicose veins with minimal downtime.
- Compression Therapy – Helps reduce swelling and manage symptoms of venous insufficiency.
- If more advanced treatment is required, such as for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or May-Thurner Syndrome, we will provide a hospital referral to ensure you receive the specialized care you need.
