Runner? Leg cramps?
Are you a runner? Do you suffer from leg cramps? Do you have swollen ankles or feet after you run? Do you have veins that pop out on your legs? Do your legs feel like you are dragging sand bags by the end of the day? If you answered yes to 2 or more of these questions, you may need to see a vein specialist. The veins in your legs may be causing these symptoms. If you live in Arizona, you can come see us at Morrison Vein Institute. If you live anywhere else, visit www.phlebology.org
Morrison Vein Institute and CEP
Morrison Vein Institute and CEP teamed up at this year’s PF Changs Rock n Roll Marathon to teach runners about the benefits of compression. CEP sold compression socks and sleeves for runners at the expo. Morrison Vein Institute was on hand to talk about the medical benefits of compression, and leg health.
Whether you are running a marathon, traveling on an airplane, working on your feet all day, or just walking in the mall, you should wear compression socks, or support stockings everyday. It will help pump the blood back up towards your heart, that is pooling in your feet causing swelling. For more info on compression socks or sleeves, visit www.cepcompression.com or come visit us at www.morrisonvein.com to learn more about veins and your leg health.

Healthy New Year’s #Resolution
We hope your New Year’s Resolution was to take better care of yourself and your health, which hopefully includes your leg health. If you are suffering from leg pain, cramping, restless leg, swollen ankles or feet, you might be experiencing symptoms of vein disease. The good news is that it is treatable. A Phlebologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins, spider veins and vein disease. There are a select number of doctors in each state that are Board Certified in Phlebology, and Morrison Vein Institute has 2 of those doctors on staff in Arizona.
Make it a goal this year to have your veins treated. You and your health are worth it!
Our Blog Stats For 2011
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,500 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Heavy D Died of Blood Clot
LA coroner says Heavy D died of natural causes.
Please wear compression stockings on airplane flights and long car rides to avoid blood clots. It could save your life. A famous rapper, Heavy D died of a pulmonary embolism, aka blood clot, after a long flight. If you have restless leg, feet or ankle swelling, or pain in your legs, please seek help from a Phlebologist, aka Vein Doctor. They can treat the veins in your legs, so you don’t have to live with those symptoms or get a blood clot.
Patient Video Testimonial
One of our patients was so excited about her legs after her procedure, that she wanted to tell everyone about it. She couldn’t believe how the procedure she had done, did not slow her down one bit. She expected to be down for the count, and instead, she was able to go back to hiking mountains the next day. So we asked if we could video tape her excitement and put her testimonial online. So here it is.
