When the veins in the legs totally break down due to venous disease, the result is is severe varicose veins, pain and even ulcerations.  Many people have lived with these conditions from months to even years.  Dr. Douglas Joyce shows us that there are procedures that can successfully treat and cure these problems dramatically improving the patient's life.  The people who live with these conditions have suffered with it and their veins have ulcerated and opened and reopened over and over.  The symptom treatment approach fails.  The people who most often have venous disease are usually heavier.  The lower extremities cannot move and process the blood as needed while carrying the extra weight and pressure. 

The first approach to treatment is to do a venous ultrasound and find the trouble areas.  No incision within an ulcer is necessary with modern treatment.  The procedure can be completed in about 20 minutes for an ulcer.  The success rate for treating an ulcer is upwards of 90%.  When someone comes to Dr. Joyce, it is usually after having suffered with the condition for years and sometimes after trying other treatments.
