What Is a Lower Extremity Ultrasound?
Using high-frequency sound waves, a lower extremity ultrasound provides detailed images of your leg veins to help identify circulation issues. It's a safe and painless way for specialists to assess how blood flows through the veins and whether any blockages, clots, or valve issues are present.
This test plays a critical role in evaluating the health of your veins and determining the best course of action for treatment. Whether you're dealing with visible varicose veins or unexplained discomfort, ultrasound imaging gives your provider a clear look inside your circulatory system without the need for surgery or radiation.
Why Might You Need One?
Lower extremity ultrasounds are often recommended if you show signs of vein disease or poor leg circulation. Common symptoms that might lead your provider to suggest this test include:
- Persistent leg swelling or heaviness
- Aching or throbbing pain in the legs
- Itching or skin changes near the veins
- Bulging varicose veins or spider veins
- A history or risk of blood clots
This procedure is also vital in diagnosing conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or chronic venous insufficiency, both of which can cause serious complications if left untreated.
How Ultrasound Supports Vein Diagnostics
A thorough vein diagnostic process is essential for creating a treatment plan that works. Lower extremity ultrasound helps pinpoint where and how blood flow is restricted. It shows if valves within your veins are malfunctioning—a common cause of varicose veins—and can detect the presence of clots or obstructions.
By using ultrasound for vein diagnostics, our providers can offer highly targeted and minimally invasive treatments that address your specific condition, not just the symptoms. It's the foundation of accurate, effective vein care.
