Clinical Information

• Venous insufficiency is when the veins have trouble sending blood from one’s limbs back to the heart. The result of this condition is that blood collects in one’s legs. 
• Being overweight, pregnant, having a family history of the condition, smoking, not having an active lifestyle, or incurring damage due to surgery, an injury, or blood clots can increase one’s risk of having venous insufficiency. 
• Some symptoms of venous insufficiency are swelling in the legs/ankles, pain when walking, varicose veins, and cramps or tight/uncomfortable feelings in the calves/legs. 
• A practitioner will take one’s medical history and conduct an imaging test called the Duplex ultrasound to diagnose venous insufficiency. 
• There are numerous factors to consider when formulating a treatment plan for venous insufficiency. However, some common treatments for this condition are medication, endovenous laser/radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy, surgery, and elevating one’s legs.
