Leg Swelling Treatment for Hattiesburg, MS Patients
Hattiesburg, MS is served by our Hattiesburg clinic, where our team offers leg swelling treatment alongside in-office ultrasound diagnosis. Whether this is your first time seeking vein care or you've been managing symptoms for years, our goal is to make the process simple.
What Is Leg Swelling?
Evaluation and treatment for leg swelling caused by underlying vein disease rather than treating the swelling alone.
Leg swelling is one of the most common symptoms of underlying vein disease. Dr. J. Keith Thompson evaluates swelling with an ultrasound to check for venous insufficiency, then treats the underlying vein — through vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy — rather than just the symptom.

Who This Helps
Hattiesburg patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about leg swelling:
- Swelling in the lower legs and ankles, especially by the end of the day
- Legs that feel tight or heavy
- Swelling that improves overnight but returns during the day
- Skin changes around a swollen area
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.
As the underlying vein disease is treated, many patients notice their swelling, heaviness, and aching gradually improve.

An in-office ultrasound can identify whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your swelling.
