I have over two decades of experience in treating vein problems, including large bulging veins, discoloration, bleeding, and ulcers. For the last five years, I have been increasingly focused on treating these vein problems using the latest laser technology in my office in Ridgewood, where my patients have been extremely satisfied with Irene Yurkovsky, MA; Esthetician Luba Lander; the ease of the procedure and vast Administrator Zizi Majid; Dr. Ned Majid; improvement in their condition. Manager Eileen Haynes; and Assistant Janet Asher. Fifty to sixty percent of women and forty percent of men may be affected by this condition. Vein disorders are aggravated by pregnancy, hormones, prolonged period of standing, and injury. Years ago, these problems had to be treated in a hospital with general anesthesia and hospitalization of 2 to 5 days, but today they can be treated using a simple, virtually painless, in-office procedure. With my team of qualified professionals, I first conduct a diagnostic test using an ultrasound to determine the severity of the problem. If the valves are not functioning properly and are causing venous reflux, a treatment plan is discussed with the patient. If left untreated, this condition progressively worsens. The customized treatment plan could include any or all of the following (which are covered by Medicare and most insurance plans): Laser Ablation: The vein is accessed by the knee and the laser fiber is introduced which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. Mini Phlebectomy: A one-millimeter incision is made, and using a small hook, the varicose vein is grasped and removed. (Both of the above procedures are done under local anesthesia, with minimal down time.) Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy: A sclerosing agent is injected into the vein under ultrasound guidance. It is our mission at the NE Laser Vein Institute to provide our patients with extraordinary care with exceptional results. From the moment you enter our facility to the time you leave, my staff and I are dedicated to alleviating your venous problems and returning your legs to their healthy state.

New patients are welcome to bring in a bag of nonperishable groceries in exchange for a complimentary chiropractic consultation, exam, and spinal X-rays (if needed). The value for these services is $225. The doctors often hear patients say, “I didn’t know chiropractic could help with that!” “It’s not uncommon for a patient to come in complaining of neck or lower back pain,” the doctors say. “After a month or so of chiropracFamily Chiropractors of Ridgewood tic adjustments, when their pain is gone, they will mention that their allergies or knee pain seem to be better, and ask if it’s a coincidence. The answer is no! When your spine is in alignment, and your nervous system is working at 100%, your body can heal itself! “Besides allergies or joint pain, patients have told us they sleep better, and have more energy, fewer asthma symptoms, better digestion, fewer ear infections, improved resistance to colds and flu…The list goes on and on. “As chiropractors, we are not surprised by these stories. When we correct a misalignment (subluxation) of the spine, the nervous system works better and our bodies can work the way they were designed to. During a chiropractic exam, we check the spine for subluxations, which interrupt the flow of nerve impulses throughout the body, and can interfere with your body’s normal functions. “As experienced mothers, we understand firsthand the important role that chiropractic has played in the lives of our children. They have received regular chiropractic adjustments since birth from us, or their dads (who are also chiropractors). All five children remain healthy and drug-free. “In our 20 years of practice we have seen patients in all stages of life: pregnant moms, newborns, teens, adults, and seniors. Often we care for two or three generations within the same family.” To schedule your complimentary first visit and contribute to the Food Drive, call (201) 4446656.
