Venous Insufficiency Treatment for Columbia, MS Patients
Columbia, MS patients looking for venous insufficiency treatment don't have to travel far. The Vein Institute's Hattiesburg office serves Columbia and the surrounding area, offering the same board-certified vein care available at all three 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
Columbia 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
Plan for a consultation focused on you: your provider will ask about your symptoms, review your history, and often recommend an in-office ultrasound to map the affected veins. From there, you'll discuss which treatment options make sense for your situation.
Treating venous insufficiency is designed to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and help prevent complications like varicose veins, venous ulcers, or skin changes from progressing.
