Swelling

If you’ve been experiencing swelling and heaviness in your legs, you may have a vein condition causing your blood to pool in the vein without circulating through to your heart. Swelling due to a vein disease can be uncomfortable and even painful, but fortunately there are treatments available to help treat your symptoms and control your vein condition effectively.

What Causes Swelling in the Leg?

Often an abnormal superficial vein is responsible for swelling, though other causes can include lymphedema, which is the inefficient draining of lymphatic channels, or heart and kidney disease.

Swelling can be dangerous if it represents a clot forming, so if you’re suffering from this condition, we urge you to contact us today for diagnosis and treatment.
