“Northern Michigan Vein Specialists Earns Vascular Testing Accreditation by the IAC”
Bisphenol A, or BPA, has been vilified for the better part of the last 2 decades, and rightfully so. This endocrine-disrupting chemical was used in plastics throughout the latter half of the 20th century, until researchers began to discover the many negative side effects. One such side effect is varicose and spider veins. Make sure to avoid this substance at all costs — use a good quality water filter, choose glass storage containers, and never microwave plastic! #BPA #toxins
Salt is one of the chemicals that attract water, enabling water to stay in the blood which helps maintain blood volume. However, if you ingest too much salt, more water will remain in your blood vessels, increasing your blood volume. Increased blood volume makes it harder for your heart to pump blood around your body. #saltyfood #vascularsystem
Ambulatory phlebectomy treats symptomatic and asymptomatic veins and can relieve both cosmetic and medical concerns in one simple procedure.

As the only uncomfortable part of RFA and EVLT is the local anesthetic, there have been many advances in the recent years to treat diseased veins in manners that do not require heat energy and therefore will eliminate the need for the tumescent local anesthesia. Dr. Heeringa has been one of the first physicians in the area to perform some of these procedures. While these techniques can eliminate the need for tumescent anesthesia, it is important to check your insurance coverage, as many of the newer techniques may not be covered. https://bit.ly/2yimBQw

The heart is part of your body’s circulatory system. It’s made up of the atria, ventricles, valves, and various arteries and veins. The primary function of your heart is to keep blood that’s full of oxygen circulating throughout your body. Because your heart is crucial to your survival, it’s important to keep it healthy with a well-balanced diet and exercise and avoid things that can damage it, like smoking. #healthyheart #vascularsystem
