Venous Ulcer Treatment for Long Beach, MS Patients
Vein disease is common, and it's treatable. If you're in Long Beach, MS, the Vein Institute's D’Iberville office provides venous ulcer treatment using modern, minimally invasive techniques — the same approach used across all of our South Mississippi locations.
What Is Venous Ulcers?
Treatment for open leg sores caused by chronic venous insufficiency, addressing both the wound and the underlying vein disease.
Venous ulcerations are open sores on the legs caused by chronic venous insufficiency, when blood pools in the veins instead of flowing back toward the heart. Dr. J. Keith Thompson treats venous ulcers by addressing both the wound and the underlying vein disease driving it, often using the same vein ablation or sclerotherapy techniques used for varicose veins.

Who This Helps
Long Beach patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous ulcers:
- Open sores or wounds on the lower leg, often near the ankle
- Skin discoloration or thickening around the wound
- Leg swelling, aching, or heaviness
- Wounds that are slow to heal
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.
Because venous ulcers are slow to heal and can worsen without treatment, addressing the underlying vein disease is an important part of supporting faster healing and reducing the chance the ulcer returns.
