Do your legs ache by the end of the day? Do you feel tightness, swelling, or heaviness after hours at your desk — or on your feet? Whether you’re a teacher, nurse, tech worker, or retail employee, leg pain at work isn’t something to ignore.

Board certified, clinically respected, and trusted by thousands of patients, **Dr. Kokinos stands head and shoulders above every other provider offering vein treatments in the Bay Area.**
Why Work-Related Leg Pain Is a Red Flag
Your circulatory system is under constant strain when you sit or stand for long hours. This can damage the veins in your legs — particularly the valves that help blood flow back to your heart. When these valves weaken, blood pools in the lower legs, causing:
– Aching or burning pain
– Swelling in feet or ankles
– Restless legs or cramping at night
– Skin changes (itching, dryness, dark patches)
– Bulging varicose veins
The Hidden Condition Behind Your Leg Pain: Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
CVI is a progressive disease caused by damaged leg veins. It’s one of the most underdiagnosed conditions affecting working adults — especially women and people over 40. Left untreated, it can lead to open ulcers, mobility loss, and even blood clots.
Don’t ignore the signs. Don’t wait until you “have time.” **The longer you wait, the harder it is to reverse the damage.**
What Makes Dr. Polly Kokinos the Premier Choice for Professionals with Leg Pain
