Restless Legs Syndrome Treatment - Hamilton NJ

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, usually accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. These symptoms typically occur during periods of rest or inactivity, particularly in the evening or at night. Our Hamilton, New Jersey vein center offers specialized treatment for RLS related to vein conditions.

While RLS can have various causes, venous insufficiency and other vascular conditions may contribute to or worsen symptoms. Studies have shown that treating underlying vein problems can significantly improve RLS symptoms in many patients.
