No tricks, just a little spider vein education.

Spider veins are the fine, web-like blood vessels you may notice on your thighs, calves, or ankles.

One common treatment is sclerotherapy, which uses injections to close the affected veins and reduce their appearance over time. It’s a gradual process, and your treatment needs will depend on your veins.

Ready to learn more? Give us a call and we can walk you through your options.

NFL quarterback Jalen Hurts’ blood clot diagnosis is a reminder that being young and physically fit doesn’t make you immune to serious vein problems.

The Philadelphia Eagles confirmed that Hurts has deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and blood clots in both lungs. Thankfully, he is stable and expected to recover.

As a vein doctor, my message is simple: don’t brush off unexplained changes in your legs. New swelling, pain or tenderness, warmth, or redness, especially in one leg, deserve prompt medical evaluation. Don’t assume it’s just a pulled muscle or something you need to walk off.

A clot in a deep vein can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a potentially life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing up blood, or fainting are reasons to call 911 immediately. You can have a clot without obvious leg symptoms, so don’t wait for every warning sign to appear.

Heading to the mountains for a fall getaway? 🍂🚗 Don’t forget about your legs on the drive!

Sitting for long stretches can slow blood flow in your legs and leave them feeling stiff or swollen. Take a break every couple of hours to walk around, move and stretch your ankles and calves while you’re sitting, stay hydrated, and wear compression if it’s been recommended for you.

Enjoy the views, the cooler weather, and give your legs a pit stop along the way. 🍁

Spider veins and varicose veins aren't the same problem, even though people use the names interchangeably.

Varicose veins are the bulging, rope-like veins you can feel under the skin. They form when larger veins lose their ability to push blood back up toward the heart, and they often come with aching, heaviness or swelling.

Spider veins are different. They're the small, flat red or purple lines closer to the surface, usually on the legs but sometimes on the hands, face or chest. They're almost always a cosmetic concern rather than a sign of deeper circulation trouble, but that doesn't mean nothing can be done.

Spider veins are treated with sclerotherapy, a quick in-office procedure. A tiny amount of solution is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over the following weeks. No general anesthesia, no downtime, and most people are back to their normal day right after.

If you're not sure which one you're dealing with, that's a completely normal question to have. The two conditions can look similar from a distance but need different approaches, and it's worth getting an actual look before deciding what, if anything, to do next.

Have you noticed small veins like this on your own legs? We're happy to talk through what you're seeing.

Aching, swelling, a vein that looks more prominent than last year, that's not nothing, and a free screening can tell you what it means.

Most people notice these things long before they ever call a doctor about them. They figure it's nothing, or that nothing can be done without surgery, or that insurance won't cover it anyway. None of that has to be true, but you won't actually know until someone looks.

That's exactly what the free vein health screening is for. Dr. Cahn examines your legs, walks you through what he sees, and gives you an honest answer about whether treatment makes sense, and what your options would be if it does. No referral needed, and no pressure to move forward with anything.

If your legs have been bothering you quietly for a while, this is the easy part. Give our Shallotte office a call at (910) 363-4949 and we'll get you on the schedule.

Some terms and conditions apply to the free screening.

We had a little fun celebrating National Boss’s Day this week with a taco bar, piñata, flowers and plenty of laughs!

The truth is, we love any excuse to celebrate and have a good time around here... but this time we had two especially good reasons, Dr. Michael Cahn and Mrs. Briana Cahn!

These two are appreciated every day for making this such a wonderful place to work. They take great care of our team, and we think that makes a big difference in how our team takes care of our patients.

Thanks for all you do, Dr. and Mrs. Cahn! We hope you enjoyed your little fiesta!

Those twisted, bulging veins on your legs aren't just cosmetic.

When a vein starts to twist or bulge through the skin, it usually means the valves inside aren't closing properly anymore. Blood that should be moving back up toward the heart is pooling instead, and the vein stretches under the pressure. That's what gives a varicose vein its shape, not just how it looks, but what's actually happening underneath.

Discoloration is often part of the same picture. Skin near the ankle that looks darker or faintly bruised, without any injury to explain it, is another sign that blood has been pooling in that spot for a while.

It's easy to assume this is only about appearance, especially if nothing hurts yet. But a vein that's visibly twisted, bulging, or discolored is already a vein that isn't doing its job the way it should, and that tends to change slowly, over months and years, not overnight.

Have you noticed anything like this on your own legs, and has it changed over time?
