Leg Swelling Treatment for Meridian, MS Patients
For Meridian residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's Meridian location offers leg swelling treatment in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.
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 ā through vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy ā rather than just the symptom.

Who This Helps
Meridian 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 visit begins with a straightforward check-in, followed by time with your provider to go over your symptoms and concerns. Most patients also have an ultrasound exam the same day, which helps confirm the diagnosis before any treatment is recommended.
As the underlying vein disease is treated, many patients notice their swelling, heaviness, and aching gradually improve.
