Venous Insufficiency Treatment for Collins, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Collins, MS, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg office provides venous insufficiency treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is Venous Insufficiency?
Diagnosis and treatment for veins that have stopped efficiently moving blood back toward the heart.
Venous insufficiency happens when the veins in the legs stop moving blood efficiently back toward the heart. Dr. J. Keith Thompson diagnoses venous insufficiency with an ultrasound exam, then recommends a treatment plan — which may include vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy — based on which veins are affected.

Who This Helps
Collins patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous insufficiency:
- Varicose veins or spider veins
- Leg swelling, heaviness, aching, or cramping
- Skin changes on the lower leg
- Restless or tired legs, especially after standing
How It Works & Recovery
Your first visit starts with check-in — no stack of forms to fill out — followed by a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your symptoms. Many patients also have an ultrasound the same day to help identify which veins are involved, so a treatment plan can be discussed right away.
Treating venous insufficiency is designed to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and help prevent complications like varicose veins, venous ulcers, or skin changes from progressing.
