Where Can I Find Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Treatment in Fort Worth, Texas?

If you are dealing with painful, bulging veins or a heavy, tired feeling in your legs, you may be a candidate for radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a gentle, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins and circulation problems. You can find RFA at the Vein Treatment Clinic in Fort Worth, located at 3455 Locke Avenue, Suite 300, Fort Worth, TX 76107.
Here, Dr. James Chalk, Board-Certified Vascular Surgeon and Vein Treatment Expert, performs RFA to improve circulation, relieve symptoms, and restore leg comfort without surgery or downtime.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins develop when the valves inside your leg veins weaken, allowing blood to flow backward instead of upward toward the heart. This condition, known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), increases pressure inside the veins and causes them to enlarge and bulge.

Common symptoms include:

• Aching or throbbing legs
• Heaviness or fatigue
• Swelling at the end of the day
• Visible bulging veins

Treating the underlying valve dysfunction with RFA can improve circulation and help prevent progression of vein disease.

What Happens During Your Visit at Our Fort Worth Vein Clinic?

Every treatment begins with a diagnostic ultrasound to determine whether RFA is the right option for your symptoms. Once the underlying problem vein is identified, Dr. James Chalk develops a treatment plan tailored to your circulation needs.

What Is an Ultrasound?

Ultrasound is a painless imaging test that uses sound waves to show real-time images of your veins. It helps detect:

• Malfunctioning valves

• Areas of reflux

• Veins contributing to your symptoms

• The safest path for treatment

This information ensures your RFA procedure is precise and effective.

What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?

Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that closes diseased veins responsible for varicose veins and CVI.

How RFA Works

During the procedure:

• A thin catheter is gently placed into the problem vein using ultrasound guidance

• Controlled radiofrequency energy warms the vein wall

• The vein collapses and seals closed

• Blood naturally reroutes to healthier veins

RFA is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes less than an hour. There are no stitches, no hospital stay, and very little downtime. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.

Compression stockings are worn for 24 hours after treatment to support proper healing and optimal results. Results may vary.

What Results Should You Expect?

As circulation improves, many patients notice:

• Lighter, less swollen legs

• Reduced aching or heaviness

• Smoother, less visible veins over time

• Better comfort when standing or walking

• A quick return to regular activity

Relief may be immediate for some or gradual for others. Results may vary.

Many medically necessary vein treatments, including RFA, may be covered by insurance when symptoms such as pain, swelling, or heaviness are present. Our insurance concierge confirms your benefits before your procedure.
