Venous Reflux Ultrasound for Livingston, AL Patients
Livingston, AL patients looking for venous reflux ultrasound don't have to travel far. The Vein Institute's Meridian office serves Livingston and the surrounding area, offering the same board-certified vein care available at all three of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is Reflux Ultrasound?
A painless in-office imaging exam that identifies abnormalities in the leg veins before a treatment plan is recommended.
A venous reflux ultrasound is a painless imaging exam used to identify abnormalities in the leg veins and confirm whether blood is flowing backward (reflux) instead of toward the heart. At the Vein Institute, this exam is performed by Callie Flowers, our Clinical Manager and Certified Vascular Sonographer, often during the same visit as your consultation.

Who This Helps
Livingston patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about reflux ultrasound:
- Visible varicose or spider veins that need to be mapped before treatment
- Unexplained leg swelling, aching, or heaviness
- A history of vein-related skin changes
How It Works & Recovery
Expect a relaxed, unhurried visit: check-in with our front desk team, then time with your provider to discuss your specific concerns. An in-office ultrasound is often recommended to confirm which veins need treatment, and we'll walk you through next steps before you leave.
There is no downtime after an ultrasound. Patients are asked to change into shorts (disposable shorts are provided if needed) so the sonographer can access the legs, and results help guide which treatment, if any, is recommended.
