Vein Problems

Venous or vein disease occurs when the veins in your legs become unable to return the blood back from your legs to your heart.

Healthy leg veins have valves; they keep blood flowing to the heart. Venous reflux disease, also known as chronic venous disease or venous insufficiency, develops when the valves stop working properly. That allows blood to flow backward (reflux) and pool in your lower leg veins. Chronic venous disease refers to persistent, progressive conditions that worsen over time. This disease should be addressed with intervention by our vascular specialists to help alleviate and decrease pain and discomfort. If left untreated, your symptoms of vein disease can worsen over time.
