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.

Newton patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about venous insufficiency:
We keep the first visit simple — check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.
Treating venous insufficiency is designed to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and help prevent complications like varicose veins, venous ulcers, or skin changes from progressing.
