Why Do My Legs Keep Swelling?
Healthy leg veins push blood back up toward your heart against gravity. When the tiny valves inside those veins weaken, blood pools in the lower legs instead. That pressure forces fluid out into the surrounding tissue, and the result is swelling in your ankles and calves.
This condition is called venous insufficiency, and it rarely fixes itself. The longer it goes untreated, the more the swelling, aching, and skin changes tend to build. A simple ultrasound tells us exactly which veins are involved.
You should get evaluated if your swelling:
- Gets worse the longer you stand or sit
- Goes down when you elevate your legs or sleep
- Leaves an indentation when you press it
- Comes with aching, heaviness, or visible veins

Frequently Asked Questions
Q Are vein treatments painful?
Most of our treatments cause minimal discomfort. Patients typically report feeling only a slight pressure or warmth. Most procedures are performed with a local anesthetic for maximum comfort.
Q Does insurance cover vein treatment?
Yes — varicose veins and venous insufficiency are medical conditions, so treatment is often covered by most major insurance plans. We verify your coverage before your appointment at no cost.
Q How long do treatments take?
Most procedures are completed in 30–60 minutes. You can walk out of the office immediately and return to light daily activities the same day — no hospital stay required.
Q Will my veins come back after treatment?
Treated veins are permanently eliminated. However, new veins can develop over time due to genetics or lifestyle. Our team provides guidance on prevention to keep you feeling great long-term.
Q How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks. Full results typically appear within 3–6 months as the treated vessels are naturally absorbed by the body.
Q What is the FREE vein screening?
Your free screening includes a consultation with our board-certified specialists, review of your symptoms, and a determination of whether further diagnostic ultrasound evaluation is recommended — at no cost to you.
Q Is leg swelling always caused by veins?
Not always. Swelling can come from other causes too, which is exactly why a quick ultrasound matters. If your veins are the source, we can treat it. If they are not, we will tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Q Will treatment actually reduce the swelling?
Once the faulty veins are closed and blood stops pooling, most patients see the swelling and heaviness ease over the following weeks. Many tell us their legs feel lighter almost right away.
