Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when the valves in your leg veins weaken or fail, making it harder for blood to flow back to your heart. This leads to pooling, swelling, and uncomfortable symptoms like heaviness, cramps, and skin changes. At AVLC, we offer advanced chronic venous insufficiency treatment in York to help restore healthy circulation and prevent serious complications.
We Help You Walk Without Pain, Literally
If you’ve been told your symptoms are just “part of aging” or something you have to “live with,” it’s time for a second opinion.
Leg discomfort, skin changes, and visible veins often point to a deeper concern—chronic venous insufficiency. At AVLC, we specialize in uncovering the root cause of your symptoms and treating you with no unnecessary surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
As CVI progresses, you may notice symptoms beyond cosmetic vein concerns. These symptoms can develop as:
- Lipodermatosclerosis: Thickened skin around your ankles
- Venous ulcers: Painful, open sores
- Ankle flares: Clusters of spider veins near the ankle
Each of these is a warning sign that you may want to get evaluated by our vein specialist promptly.
In many cases—yes. At AVLC, our chronic venous insufficiency treatment in York includes targeted, image-guided therapies. Through his treatment process, Dr. Heird can close malfunctioning veins and improve blood flow, promoting healing. Our goal is to help heal venous ulcers and reduce the symptoms of statin dermatitis, and get you feeling better while avoiding long-term concerns.
Bleeding veins may occur when varicose veins near the surface become fragile and rupture. Though they can appear alarming, they are treatable. At AVLC, we address the root concern—venous pressure—using targeted treatments like sclerotherapy to close the vein. This nonsurgical method reduces the risk of future bleeding or complications.

The Ripple Effect of Poor Circulation
Venous disease often starts quietly, but its impact builds over time. As blood pools and pressure builds, pain and fatigue can creep in, making everyday life harder. Left untreated, chronic venous insufficiency can lead to more serious complications. At AVLC, we offer compassionate, expert care to help you feel better—and live better—starting now.
