PENSACOLA — West Florida Healthcare will offer a free seminar, “Solutions for Varicose Veins,” 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 12 at the West Florida Medical Group office, 1190 E. 9 Mile Road, Pensacola.
The featured speaker will be Jon Moore, M.D., general surgeon.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins caused by valves that do not work properly. Veins most likely to become varicose are those in the legs and feet, mainly because standing and walking upright increases pressure in the veins of the lower body.
For many people, varicose veins and spider veins — a common, mild variation of varicose veins — are simply a cosmetic concern. For others, however, varicose veins can cause aching pain and can lead to serious problems.
Call 494-3212 to register.
