Are your legs trying to tell you something?

They may be if you have one or more of these symptoms:

Tired, aching or heavy legs

History of leg blood clots

Swollen ankles

Varicose or spider veins

Leg cramps night or day

Skin color changes below knee.

These are all signs of venous insufficiency—a condition that affects millions of people. Simply put, the veins in your legs are not working the way they should. They may be stretched so that the valves that control blood flow don’t close properly. Or, the valves themselves may be damaged. Everyone is susceptible to venous insufficiency—even athletes in otherwise outstanding health.

The good news is that Heart of The Villages offers treatments in office with no stitches and no downtime. There we can isolate your troubled vein segment with ultrasound and treat it—with laser or chemical ablation. Please, listen to your legs. They just might be telling you to call us!
