Do your legs often feel heavy, swollen, or achy? You may be experiencing chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition that occurs when weakened vein valves prevent blood from flowing properly back to the heart. Over time, this can lead to pooling in the legs, causing discomfort, varicose veins, and even skin changes. Causes of chronic venous insufficiency include prolonged sitting or standing, aging, and a history of blood clots. Common venous insufficiency symptoms range from mild swelling to more severe issues, like leg ulcers. At Southern California Vascular Institute, Dr. Amiel Moshfegh offers advanced treatments to improve circulation and relieve discomfort. If you’re noticing these symptoms, contact one of our locations in Los Angeles or Bakersfield, CA to learn how we can help.

For early chronic venous insufficiency, lifestyle changes like regular exercise, leg elevation, and compression therapy can help reduce symptoms. Dr. Amiel Moshfegh offers innovative venous insufficiency treatment, including minimally invasive procedures, like sclerotherapy and endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), to close damaged veins and restore healthy blood flow.
