Leg Pain / Aching / Cramping
Leg pain, aching, and cramping are often signs of underlying vein disease, a condition that affects blood flow in the legs. Poor circulation, varicose veins, and blood clots can disrupt the normal movement of blood back to the heart, leading to discomfort and potential complications if left untreated. These symptoms may worsen with prolonged standing or sitting and often improve with elevation of the legs.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins caused by faulty valves.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Inadequate blood flow due to weakened or damaged vein walls and valves.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in deep veins that can lead to serious complications.
- Spider Veins: Smaller, superficial veins that may contribute to discomfort.
A thorough evaluation is critical to understanding the root cause of your symptoms. Our diagnostic process includes:
- Initial Consultation
Discussing your medical history and symptoms in detail. - Physical Assessment

Skin Changes / Discoloration
Skin changes and discoloration in the legs can be key indicators of underlying vein disease. These changes often result from poor blood circulation, leading to increased pressure in the veins and damage to surrounding tissues. Without treatment, these symptoms may progress, potentially causing complications like ulcers or persistent skin damage.
- Hyperpigmentation: Darkening of the skin, often appearing brown or reddish, typically around the ankles or lower legs.
- Lipodermatosclerosis: Hardened or thickened skin due to chronic inflammation and scarring.
- Venous Stasis Dermatitis: Itchy, red, or scaly skin caused by prolonged venous insufficiency.
- Ulcer Formation: Open sores that develop when skin and underlying tissues break down due to chronic venous pressure.

Leg or Ankle Swelling
Leg and ankle swelling, also known as edema, occurs when fluid builds up in the tissues of the lower extremities. This swelling can range from mild to severe and is often a symptom of underlying vein or lymphatic system damage. Left untreated, chronic swelling can lead to discomfort, skin changes, and an increased risk of infection or ulcers.
- Venous Insufficiency: When vein valves don’t function properly, blood pools in the lower legs, causing swelling.
- Lymphedema: Damage to the lymphatic system leads to fluid accumulation.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins disrupt normal blood flow, contributing to fluid retention.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: These activities can worsen swelling by restricting proper circulation.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A blood clot in a deep vein can obstruct blood flow, resulting in swelling.
A comprehensive evaluation helps us identify the root cause of your swelling and create an effective treatment plan.

Leg Heaviness & Fatigue
Leg heaviness or a sensation of aching fatigue in the legs is a common complaint that can result from several underlying conditions, including muscular disorders, joint problems, or circulatory issues. One of the most frequent causes is venous insufficiency, a condition where veins struggle to circulate blood effectively, causing blood to pool in the lower extremities. This can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and a persistent feeling of heaviness in the legs, particularly after prolonged standing or sitting.
- Venous Insufficiency: Weakened vein valves disrupt blood flow, causing pooling and heaviness.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged veins create increased pressure and fatigue in the legs.
- Poor Circulation: Reduced blood flow leads to insufficient oxygen and nutrients in the leg muscles.
- Prolonged Activity or Inactivity: Standing or sitting for extended periods exacerbates these symptoms.

Ulcers / Sores / Open Wounds
Ulcers, sores, and open wounds on the legs or ankles are often a sign of advanced venous insufficiency or vein disease. These wounds, commonly referred to as venous ulcers, develop when poor circulation causes prolonged pressure in the veins, leading to damage and breakdown of the surrounding skin and tissues.

Restlessness in the Legs
Restless legs syndrome is characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations like tingling, itching, or aching. This condition is frequently caused by poor circulation due to vein disease. While medications may alleviate symptoms temporarily, they do not address the underlying circulation issues. Restless legs can be a sign of venous insufficiency, where blood flow is restricted, causing discomfort and interfering with sleep and daily activities.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Faulty vein valves cause poor circulation, leading to increased pressure and leg discomfort.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged veins disrupt blood flow, contributing to the sensations of heaviness and restlessness in the legs.
- Venous Hypertension: High pressure in the veins can trigger symptoms of restless legs, especially during periods of inactivity or rest.

Tingling or Burning in Leg
Tingling, burning, or itching sensations in the legs are often linked to poor circulation caused by vein disease. This discomfort occurs when blood flow is restricted, preventing nutrients and oxygen from reaching the skin and tissues. The sensation can range from mild to severe and may worsen after prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Tingling or burning in the leg is a common symptom of venous insufficiency, where the veins cannot efficiently return blood to the heart.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Damaged vein valves hinder proper blood flow, leading to discomfort and skin irritation.
- Varicose Veins: Enlarged veins disrupt circulation, contributing to sensations of burning or tingling in the legs.
- Venous Hypertension: Increased pressure in the veins causes irritation in the skin and nerves, leading to burning sensations.
- Nerve Impairment: Reduced blood flow to the nerves can cause tingling or a “pins-and-needles” feeling.
To effectively address tingling or burning in the leg, we focus on determining the underlying venous issue causing the discomfort:
- Initial Consultation

Varicose and Spider Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear bulging and blue or purple, typically in the legs. Spider veins, smaller and closer to the skin’s surface, may look like fine red or blue lines in a web-like pattern. Both types of veins are often caused by high pressure in the leg veins, which weakens the vein walls and causes them to stretch and become visible. While spider veins are usually a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can lead to pain, swelling, and more serious health issues if left untreated.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Faulty vein valves allow blood to flow backward, increasing pressure and causing veins to become enlarged.
- Varicose Veins: High blood pressure in leg veins leads to the swelling and twisting of veins.
- Genetics: A family history of vein disease increases the risk of developing varicose and spider veins.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormone therapy can weaken vein walls and lead to vein enlargement.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Long periods of inactivity can cause blood to pool in the veins, increasing pressure and contributing to vein enlargement.
Our diagnostic process focuses on identifying the underlying causes of varicose and spider veins, allowing for the most effective treatment:
- Initial Consultation Discussing your symptoms, family history, and vein concerns.
- Physical Examination Inspecting the veins for signs of swelling, bulging, or discoloration.
- Ultrasound Imaging Assessing the veins to identify any reflux (backward blood flow) and evaluate vein health.
- Customized Treatment Plan Creating a personalized plan to address both the visible veins and the underlying circulation issues.
