What if I told you that the varicose veins you've been dismissing as "cosmetic concerns" may actually be causing neuropathic pain, DVTs, and serious complications in up to 30% of your patients?
This week's episode with Dr. Amit Lakkaraju will completely change how you think about venous disorders! He is back with revelations that will make you rethink every varicose vein consultation.
After listening to this episode, you'll never look at those "simple spider veins" the same way again. Dr. Lakkaraju's insights on the connection between venous insufficiency and neuropathic pain are genuinely practice-changing.
The Shocking Statistics You Need to Know:
• 20-30% of the population suffers from venous insufficiency
• <1% nerve complication rate with vein ablations - but only when done right
• 4-5x higher DVT risk in varicose vein patients
Clinical Insights That Will Transform Your Practice:
✅ Why the "fish ladder" analogy finally makes venous physiology click
✅ The phlebitis-neuritis connection most doctors miss
✅ Tumescent anesthesia as thermal protection - genius technique revealed
✅ When spider veins signal deep venous problems hint: more often than you think
🔥 The Case That Will Blow Your Mind:
See the dramatic before/after photos of a patient whose massive unilateral varicosities completely resolved with Dr. Lakkaraju's comprehensive approach. This wasn't just cosmetic - this was life-changing medical treatment.
