Vascular
Your blood vessels are like the body’s built-in highway system, they move oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed. But when those pathways get blocked, narrowed, or weakened, things don’t run the way they should. You might feel it in your legs, your energy, or just that something’s off.
That’s where vascular care comes in. At Onus, we use smart, minimally invasive treatments to improve blood flow and get you back to feeling more like yourself, safely and with fewer complications.
So, What Exactly Is Vascular Surgery?
Book An Appointment
Vascular surgery focuses on treating the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system, the essential pathways that keep blood flowing smoothly throughout your body, excluding the heart.
Some treatments are simple, like a small balloon to open up a blood vessel (angioplasty), while others might involve more detailed surgery. Whatever the case, your plan is tailored to you, with safety and recovery always front and center.
Conditions We Help Treat
Some vascular issues are easy to spot, others not so much. Either way, they shouldn’t be ignored. Here are a few conditions our team regularly works with:
- Varicose or spider veins – enlarged, visible veins that can cause aching, discomfort, or heaviness in the legs
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) – poor blood flow in the legs that can cause cramps or pain when walking
- Aneurysms – weak spots in blood vessels that can bulge or rupture
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – dangerous blood clots that form deep in the legs and can travel to the lungs
- Carotid artery disease – narrowed neck arteries that increase the risk of stroke
- Dialysis access issues – creating or repairing access points for patients undergoing regular dialysis
Should You See a Vascular Doctor?
Sometimes your body gives you hints before things get serious and your legs are no exception. If walking leaves you with aching, cramping, or a heavy feeling in your legs, that’s something to take seriously. Swelling around your ankles that doesn’t go away? Same deal.
You might also notice veins that seem unusually visible, twisted, or sore to touch. Wounds on your legs or feet taking forever to heal? Or a patch of skin that suddenly feels colder or changes colour? All signs that your circulation may not be doing its job.
And if vascular issues like blood clots or aneurysms is in your family history, get checked early. Early care means fewer complications.
