What Matt Elton, PA-C Does at The Vein Guys
As a certified physician assistant, he works alongside the board-certified physicians at the Clarksville and Hendersonville offices. He meets with patients, reviews their symptoms and ultrasound results, helps build treatment plans and follows their progress after treatment.
The letters PA-C mean a physician assistant is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA), which requires an accredited graduate program, a national exam and ongoing education.
Because vein symptoms often build up over years, the first visit focuses on explaining what the ultrasound shows and what each option involves, so patients can decide with clear information.
Conditions Evaluated in Clarksville
Patients from Clarksville, Fort Campbell, Hendersonville, Gallatin and nearby communities come in with symptoms such as:
-Varicose veins and spider veins
– Leg swelling, heavy legs and leg fatigue
– Aching, cramping or restless legs at night
– Chronic venous insufficiency, also called venous reflux
– Skin changes or discoloration near the ankles
Many of these are also common signs of poor circulation in the legs. An in-office ultrasound, performed by a Registered Vascular Technologist, shows whether a vein problem is the cause.
Vein Treatment Options
When treatment is recommended, it is performed in the office by a board-certified physician. Options at the Clarksville and Hendersonville offices include:
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which closes the unhealthy vein so blood moves through healthy ones.
VenaSeal, a medical adhesive that seals the affected vein
Sclerotherapy, an injection treatment for spider veins and small varicose veins.
Most procedures take under an hour, and patients usually return to normal activity the same day.
When to See a Vein Specialist
Vein disease tends to progress slowly, so it is easy to put off. Consider scheduling an evaluation if you notice:
– Swelling that returns every day
– Legs that feel heavy or achy after standing or sitting
– Veins that are growing larger or more uncomfortable
– Leg pain or restlessness that interrupts sleep
Sudden swelling, pain or warmth in one leg needs urgent medical attention, because it can be a sign of a blood clot.
