• Venous Disease

  • 
    Venous disease occurs when valves inside the veins become damaged and do not close completely. This causes the blood flow in the vein to change direction from going back into the leg instead of towards the heart.
  • 
    Most vein problems are due to increased pressure in the venous system. This is actually high blood pressure of the veins located under the skin. This increased pressure is caused by malfunction of the valves that lie within the veins, causing the veins to dilate. When the veins become dilated, the valves, which are attached to the sidewalls, are pulled apart. They no longer are able to maintain one-way flow and prevent blood from draining back toward the feet. These leaking veins are called incompetent.

• Accurate Diagnosis of Venous Disease through Examination and Specialized Ultrasound Technology

  • 
    Most venous disease is not detected with a standard venous ultrasound scan. Accurate diagnosis of venous disease is obtained through a specialized examination developed by Douglas H. Joyce, D.O. and our Venous Ultrasound Specialists. Your examination is performed at JVAI and is highly accurate in locating venous pathology in need of correction.
  • 
    Once your venous disease is properly diagnosed at our state-of-the-art vein center, we are able to determine the appropriate vein treatment for you. We have a proven record for eliminating existing venous disease, even in patients who suffered for years with chronic debilitating symptoms and experienced a poor response to wound care and other treatments.
