How Vein Disease Can Trigger Restless Legs?
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) can sometimes be linked to underlying vein problems. When blood pools in the legs, it may cause an uncomfortable urge to move them, especially at night.
This discomfort often worsens when you’re resting or trying to sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and fatigue. A key sign is often relief upon moving or walking.
At the Vein Treatment Clinic in Astoria, Dr. Cole checks for vein reflux with ultrasound and provides gentle, minimally invasive treatments that improve circulation and reduce RLS symptoms. Treating the vein disease can often resolve the RLS symptoms entirely.

What treatments can help relieve restless legs caused by vein disease?
All treatments are performed at one of our high-end vein treatment centers using modern, minimally invasive methods that require no hospital stay or general anesthesia.
Our most common procedures include:
- Radiofrequency Ablation, RFA: Uses gentle, controlled heat to close unhealthy veins and reroute blood flow.
- Endovenous Laser Ablation, EVLA: Uses laser energy, guided by ultrasound, to seal refluxing veins and restore circulation.
- Sclerotherapy: Closes smaller veins that contribute to discomfort and poor blood flow.
Each procedure takes less than an hour and is covered by most insurance plans. Patients typically walk out of the clinic and return to normal activity the same day. Compression stockings are worn for 24 hours after treatment to ensure optimal results.
Relief can be immediate for some, while others experience gradual improvement over time. Many patients notice reduced leg restlessness and better sleep within days, with continued improvement as circulation restores.
Why choose a clinic that provides full-spectrum vein care?
Comprehensive vein care treats both visible veins and deeper circulation issues. At the Vein Treatment Clinic in Astoria, we look at the entire venous system to address restless leg symptoms at the source, not just manage them on the surface.
When should you see a vein specialist for restless legs?
If you often feel the urge to move your legs, especially at night, or experience tingling, heaviness, or cramping, it’s time for a vein evaluation. Treating underlying circulation issues can dramatically reduce these symptoms and help you rest more peacefully.
