Poor circulation can cause a variety of issues, from blood clots to sores and even amputation. While enlisting the help of a medical professional is crucial, there are certain things you can do on your own to promote healthy arteries. Arteries are a major part of your circulatory system, and keeping them healthy is key for long-term cardiovascular health. If you have a condition that affects your arteries, such as peripheral artery disease, Third Coast Vascular works closely with
Experiencing severe back pain from a vertebral compression fracture can drastically impact your daily life and overall well-being. Kyphoplasty, a minimally invasive procedure, provides an effective solution. Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures in the spine. Osteoporosis is the most common cause of spinal fractures, and when they occur, they can lead to severe pain, reduced mobility, and decreased quality of life. When chronic back pain impacts your daily life, it’s time to discuss treatment
Venous disease encompasses a range of conditions affecting the veins, primarily in the lower extremities. These conditions can lead to discomfort and health complications if left untreated. When it comes to maintaining health, it’s crucial to pay attention to subtle signs that point to potential issues. This is especially helpful when it comes to vascular health. Venous disease affects the blood vessels in the legs and often causes subtle symptoms in the early stages. At Third Coast Vascular, our specialists diagnose
Incorporating advanced treatments to manage wounds can prevent severe diabetes-related complications such as amputation. This proactive approach also reduces the risk of future issues. One of the most serious complications for patients with diabetes is the risk of amputation, primarily due to foot ulcers that can lead to severe infections. However, with proactive management and preventive care, patients can significantly reduce their risk of amputation. Keeping diabetes-related vascular issues such as peripheral artery disease (PAD) well-managed is a key aspect of
Genicular artery embolization (GAE) is a relatively new approach to knee osteoarthritis pain that bridges the gap between nonsurgical and surgical approaches. GAE offers immediate and long-term benefits. Knee pain affects more than 80 million people, and the incidence of knee pain has grown substantially in the past decade. Common causes include injury, arthritis, and underlying medical conditions. Chronic knee pain can limit mobility, disrupt work productivity, and lower quality of life. Anti-inflammatory medication, joint injections, and surgeries serve as traditional
Complications from peripheral artery disease can be life-threatening. This makes it vital to work closely with a vascular specialist to effectively manage PAD, and minimize the risk of serious complications. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem wherein narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, primarily the legs. PAD is commonly linked with atherosclerosis (build up of arterial fat), which can restrict blood flow to the heart, brain, and legs. At Third Coast Vascular, interventional and vascular radiologist,
Sclerotherapy is one of several minimally invasive treatment options for patients with vascular concerns. Treatment is relatively quick, and patients can return to their normal routine without the need for extended downtime. Varicose veins are unsightly, swollen, and often painful veins that most often appear on the legs and can lead to significant discomfort and health issues if left untreated. Sclerotherapy, a proven treatment for varicose veins, offers a solution that is both effective and minimally invasive. For patients considering sclerotherapy, knowing
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a non-invasive treatment that increases oxygen levels in your body. It can play an important role in the comprehensive treatment of slow-healing and non-healing vascular wounds. Under typical circumstances, the air you breathe contains about 21% oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) delivers medical-grade oxygen that is 100 percent pure. High oxygen concentrations can boost your body’s natural healing abilities. HBOT is one tool Third Coast Vascular uses to treat low levels of oxygen in tissues to
When venous disease strikes, initial symptoms are often subtle. Early detection can give you a jump on managing the condition, lowering the risk of complications, and protecting your vascular health. Veins are often overlooked until something goes awry. They silently transport nutrients and oxygenated blood throughout the body. Venous disease encompasses a range of conditions affecting the veins and is far more common than most people realize. When left unmanaged, venous disease can put a major dent in your quality of life.
Vein health can have an impact on overall health. When veins get damaged or weakened, they can’t perform their crucial task of returning blood to the heart. When venous disease strikes, prompt treatment can make all the difference. Veins ensure that blood flows seamlessly throughout the body. But sometimes, veins can face challenges like superficial venous disease, compromising their functionality. The team at Third Coast Vascular offers a full range of vascular medicine services and has extensive experience treating venous
