When varicose veins stop you from living your best life, Florida Lakes Vein Center offers non-surgical, minimally invasive and non-invasive varicose veins treatment in Lakewood Ranch.
Non-surgical options don’t require hospitals, general anesthesia, incisions, or scarring. And if you hate needles too, our team of vein specialists can design a treatment plan that can offer symptom relief.
Request a screening so we can understand your situation and discuss the best possible treatments that get you from point “A” to point “Being your best self.”
Addressing the Symptoms
The simple fact of veins: Without intervention to the varicose vein itself, that troublesome vein won’t go away.
At Florida Lakes Vein Center, T.C. Lackey II, D.O., non-surgical varicose vein specialist and founder of the centers, chooses minimally invasive, non-surgical techniques to minimize or eliminate varicose veins. These treatments also resolve many of the symptoms.
We also look into what’s causing the varicose veins and recommend treatments, therapies, and at-home care to help alleviate the cause and address the issues. We want to help you live your life to its fullest potential!
But if you’re still not ready for Varithena or Venaseal, here are some choices for non-invasive varicose veins treatment in Lakewood Ranch to help manage your symptoms.

Compression Stockings
These “socks” apply gentle pressure to the legs and ankles. The size and placement we recommend depend on the location of the varicose veins.
This consistent pressure can:
- Improve blood flow
- Reduce swelling
- Address aching
- Alleviate heaviness
Compression stockings for varicose veins don’t resolve the varicosities. However, stockings can make veins less painful, and can possibly slow down condition worsening.
Leg Elevation
If you elevate your legs above your heart several times a day, gravity can assist blood flow back to the heart. This reduces pressure on your leg veins and diminishes swelling and discomfort.
Regular Exercise
In the Florida Lakes Region, we love walking, swimming, and cycling! These lower-impact exercises can improve circulation in your legs while strengthening calf muscles.
Your calf muscles work as a “second heart.” When you exercise them, the contraction and relaxation squeeze veins in the leg, pushing blood toward the heart. This process is known as the “calf muscle pump” or “venomotor pump.”
Weight Management
Living at a healthy weight reduces overall blood pressure, including the excess pressure in leg veins that can cause and worsen varicose veins.
Follow a balanced diet rich in fiber and low in sodium as part of your weight management. This helps reduce water retention, making excess weight less of a factor for edema issues.
No Prolonged Standing or Sitting
It’s an unfortunate truth that staying in one position for long periods can hinder blood flow. Whether at your desk job at work or during relaxation at home, take breaks to walk around or change positions. We also recommend desks or desk accessories that let you stand or sit while at a computer.
This change of position can improve circulation.
No Tight Clothing
Though you may enjoy how it looks and feels, tight clothing—especially around the waist, groin, and legs—may end up restricting blood flow. This creates higher venous pressure in the lower extremities, potentially exacerbating varicose vein issues.
If you choose to have surgical varicose vein treatment, you should wear comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict blood flow unless that clothing has been prescribed by your vein specialist (such as compression stockings).

Schedule a Free Screening
When you request a screening, you receive attention and care from a vein specialist who listens to you first, makes sure to understand your concerns, and then offers a path forward that best suits your goals and your health.
We can talk about home-based therapies, medications, and treatments for your symptoms. But addressing the varicosity itself with injectable varicose vein treatment offers relief for varicose vein pain without surgery, so that you can get back to enjoying activities that make life in the Florida Lakes region worth living.
