Venous Insufficiency Treatment
Diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment for chronic venous insufficiency, leg swelling, heaviness, and vein symptoms in Forest Hills, Queens
About Venous Insufficiency Treatment
Chronic venous insufficiency happens when leg vein valves do not move blood back toward the heart efficiently. Blood can pool in the legs, increasing pressure and causing heaviness, aching, swelling, restless legs, visible varicose veins, spider veins, skin discoloration, itching, and slow-healing wounds near the ankle. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group in Forest Hills, Queens, Dr. Amir Salem evaluates venous insufficiency with a focused exam and duplex ultrasound when appropriate. The goal is to identify whether symptoms are coming from superficial vein reflux, deeper vein disease, prior blood clots, or another cause. Treatment may include compression therapy, walking and calf-pump guidance, skin care, sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, phlebectomy, or coordinated wound care when needed. Because M&S combines vascular, interventional radiology, orthopedic, and foot and ankle perspectives, patients with leg swelling or walking discomfort can be evaluated for overlapping vein, artery, joint, nerve, and foot problems in one coordinated setting. We serve patients from Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens, Jamaica, Flushing, Great Neck, and nearby Queens and Long Island communities.
What to Expect
Your Visit, Step by Step
Your venous insufficiency visit starts with a review of symptoms, risk factors, prior clots or procedures, and how swelling or heaviness changes during the day. Dr. Salem may examine visible veins, skin changes, swelling, pulses, and tenderness. If vein reflux is suspected, duplex ultrasound can map blood flow and valve function. Your treatment plan may include conservative care first, or minimally invasive vein procedures when symptoms, ultrasound findings, and medical necessity support treatment.
