Welcome to NJ Vein Specialists, where we offer expert care and comprehensive solutions for Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), a common vascular condition. Our dedicated team is committed to resolving chronic venous insufficiency and enhancing overall well-being and health.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency occurs when the leg veins cannot pump enough blood back to the heart. This condition typically results from weakened or damaged vein walls or valves, leading to blood pooling in the legs. Over time, CVI can cause various complications if left untreated, making early diagnosis and management essential.

CVI is a condition where the veins in the legs struggle to send blood back to the heart, often due to weakened or damaged valves. This leads to blood pooling in the legs, causing various symptoms.
Symptoms include leg swelling, pain, varicose veins, changes in skin color and texture, leg ulcers, and a feeling of heaviness or cramping in the legs.
Diagnosis involves a physical examination and may include diagnostic tests like ultrasound imaging to assess blood flow and vein function.
We offer several treatments, including compression therapy, lifestyle modifications, and minimally invasive procedures like sclerotherapy, endovenous radio frequency ablation, and phlebectomy.
Most treatments for CVI are minimally invasive, with little to no pain. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedures.
Recovery time varies depending on the treatment. Minimally invasive procedures usually have short recovery times, allowing patients to return to normal activities within a few days.
If left untreated, CVI can lead to more severe complications like leg ulcers and an increased risk of blood clots.
Our team of vascular specialists is highly experienced in diagnosing and treating CVI. We use the latest medical technology to provide effective, patient-centered care, ensuring your treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan and the specific treatment. Our staff can assist you in understanding your benefits and coverage.
Preventive measures include regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding long periods of standing or sitting, and wearing compression stockings as advised by your doctor.
