At the Center for Vein Disease, located in Chevy Chase, MD, our board-certified vascular expert, Dr. Mehru Sonde, has been treating vein disease for patients from DC, Maryland, and Virginia for over 10 years. We believe that teachers are superheroes who deserve a fun, restful summer — and there’s no reason vein disease has to stand in your way anymore.
Why Teachers Have Vein Problems
Teaching is a demanding profession. While many focus on teachers’ vocal strain and mental fatigue, vein problems sometimes go unnoticed. From varicose veins to leg swelling and pain, teachers are at risk because they spend long hours on their feet. This limits healthy blood flow from the legs to the heart. Instead of circulating efficiently, blood can pool in the leg veins, creating pressure.
Over time, this pressure weakens the vein walls and damages the valves that keep blood moving upward. The result? Bulging, twisted veins, leg heaviness, and even swelling or aching by the end of the school day.
After months of day-in, day-out leg pressure, you might experience intrusive leg issues when summer rolls around, even if you’re staying off your feet right now. Anyone who spends long hours standing is vulnerable to the same problems.
When to Schedule a Vascular Screening
You don’t need to wait until symptoms are severe to get checked. A quick, noninvasive vascular screening allows Dr. Sonde and our team to pinpoint vein issues before they become harder to manage. We offer effective, nonsurgical treatments like foam sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy (EVLT,) and VenaSeal™ to get you in and out fast. There’s virtually no downtime, so you can get back to enjoying your time off. Best of all, treating your vein disease now means you’ve addressed the root cause of the issue and can look forward to a more comfortable school year ahead.
