Do your legs, ankles, or feet swell throughout the day? Do your shoes feel tighter in the evening, or do your socks leave deep marks on your skin? While occasional swelling may seem harmless, persistent swelling can be a sign of an underlying vein or lymphatic condition that requires attention, and treatment can help.
At Vein Specialists of the South, we understand how swelling impacts your comfort, your confidence, and your daily quality of life. Our mission is to find the cause of your swelling and help you achieve Better Veins for Life®.
You may have been told leg swelling is “just part of getting older” or “because you’ve been on your feet all day.” But deep down, you know something isn’t right. Swelling that worsens throughout the day, doesn’t fully resolve overnight, or is accompanied by discomfort, isn’t something you have to accept.
Healthy veins have one-way valves that keep blood flowing upward toward your heart. When those valves weaken or fail, blood can leak backward and pool in your leg veins. This extra pressure causes fluid to leak into surrounding tissues, leading to swelling.
Common vein conditions that cause swelling include:
Other conditions, such as heart, kidney, or liver disease, can also contribute to swelling, which is why expert evaluation is so important.

No. Swelling can also be related to other issues such as heart, kidney, or liver issues. Common over-the-counter and prescription medications can cause swelling, too. However, in up to 30% of patients with swelling and vein problems, swelling may be their only complaint.
Many insurance plans cover treatments for chronic leg swelling when medically necessary. Our team will help you navigate your coverage and maximize benefits.
The first step is an initial evaluation which may last 60 – 90 minutes. It is performed in our comfortable office setting.. Often, a specialized duplex ultrasound test or other test may be necessary.
Depending on your evaluation, a custom plan will be recommended to address your concerns. Treatment times may vary.
That depends on the underlying cause of your swelling. Some patients notice improvement within days, though it may take weeks for swelling to fully improve in other circumstances.
Compression stockings are helpful, but often not enough on their own. We focus on treating the root cause for lasting relief, so that you can enjoy life again as you live, work, and play.
At VSS, we will provide you with long-term guidance on lifestyle changes and preventive measures to help you maintain your results.
