If you're experiencing leg heaviness, swelling, aching, or visible varicose veins, don't ignore the signs. It may be chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that occurs when the veins in your legs have difficulty returning blood back to the heart.

Getting the right diagnosis starts with a comprehensive consultation, physical examination, and specialized venous ultrasound testing in an accredited vascular laboratory to help identify the underlying cause of your symptoms.

Understanding what's happening beneath the surface is the first step toward healthier legs.
