Understanding Leg Cramps
Leg cramps can be caused by various factors, including dehydration, muscle fatigue, mineral deficiencies, and underlying health conditions. Understanding the root cause is crucial for finding the right solution.
While some general lifestyle recommendations for managing leg cramps such as staying hydrated and exercising regularly may also be beneficial, if you suspect you have venous insufficiency or are experiencing persistent leg cramps, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

Leg Cramps: A Common Symptom of Venous Disease
According to a recent San Diego Population Study, leg cramps occurring at night are a common symptom of venous disease with a prevalence of 14.3%. Venous insufficiency means your veins aren’t adequately circulating your blood, especially from your lower extremities. If left untreated, venous insufficiency can lead to the development of varicose veins and spider veins, venous ulcers and other complications.
Here at Denver Vein Doc, we can screen for venous insufficiency through the use of ultrasound imaging. We can perform the ultrasound at any of our two convenient locations. It’s painless, takes just a few minutes, and is usually covered by insurance.
If venous insufficiency is found, we would encourage you to review the benefits of vein treatment options with the goal of curing the leg cramps.
Our clinic has been successfully performing the Endovenous Laser treatment to resolve the underlying vein issues. Patients have been very pleased.
