Varicose Vein Treatment in Dodgeville
Varicose veins can cause tired, achy legs and painful swelling in the lower legs and feet--an uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating situation.
Upland Hills Health surgeons Dr. Patrick Ryberg and Dr. Jared Linebarger are now treating patients with varicose veins with a minimally invasive procedure. The procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat a catheter inserted into the vein. The heat causes the faulty vein to collapse and blood re-routes into healthy veins. Ask your doctor if you could benefit from varicose vein treatment at Upland Hills Health.

New Hip Keeps Tom Running

Tom has been a runner for 50 years and now his granddaughter Raina has taken up running as well. He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to stay active and run with her.

“I was really apprehensive about going through with the surgery. But it got frustrating, not being able to go out and run and do as much as I wanted to,” he explained, “After reading a lot about the robotic arm assisted surgery and how precise it can be, well, that was a gamechanger for me,” he said.

During his pre-operative health checks Tom found out that he has two heart conditions. Both have improved because of his new hip.

“If I hadn’t had my hip done, I wouldn’t be able to exercise the way I can now, which is what I need to do to help my heart,” he said. The bonus for Tom has been enjoying running with his granddaughter. Since his hip surgery they both completed the CrazyLegs Classic and the Farmers Appreciation Day 5K.

Hear from Tom, Dr. Villare, orthopedic surgeon and Melissa Messer, physician assistant, orthopedics, in this episode of Inspire Health Podcast.
