Are your ankles always puffy? ...Especially by the end of the day?

If you’re noticing swelling around your ankles, especially after sitting or standing for long periods, it could be more than fatigue.
Chronic swelling is a common sign of venous insufficiency, where your veins struggle to return blood back to the heart.

Left untreated, it may seem manageable at first, but over time, it can lead to permanent skin changes, leg ulcers, and even mobility loss.

Don’t ignore swelling that keeps coming back! We are here to help.

Do your legs feel tired, heavy, or achy... especially at the end of the day?

It’s easy to blame it on a busy schedule, age, or long hours on your feet. But persistent leg fatigue could be a sign of something deeper: venous insufficiency.

When your veins struggle to send blood back to your heart, pressure builds, leading to discomfort, swelling, and that “heavy leg” feeling.

The good news?
It’s treatable. And catching it early makes a big difference.

If your legs feel like they’ve run a marathon, even when you haven’t, it’s time to check in.
