Oct 19, 2023

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) can be a debilitating condition that affects thousands of individuals worldwide. Characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs, accompanied by uncomfortable sensations, RLS can significantly impact quality of life and disrupt one's ability to rest and sleep properly. At the Vein Center of Arizona, our team of specialized doctors, as part of our commitment to Vascular Medicine, offers effective solutions to help individuals find relief from RLS.

Understanding Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

RLS is a neurological condition that primarily affects the legs, causing uncomfortable sensations often described as crawling, creeping, tingling, or pulling. These sensations create an irresistible urge to move the legs to alleviate the discomfort. Symptoms of RLS typically worsen during periods of rest or inactivity, particularly when trying to relax or sleep.

While the exact cause of RLS is not fully understood, research suggests a combination of genetic, physiological, and environmental factors may contribute to its development. Conditions such as iron deficiency, kidney failure, pregnancy, and certain medications have also been associated with RLS.
