Vein Experts at Center for Vein Restoration Provide Insight to This Common Condition
When President Donald J. Trump recently received a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), it cast a spotlight on a condition that affects millions of Americans, especially as they age. Though deemed benign by the White House, this condition often masquerades as minor leg trouble, including tingling, swelling, and fatigue, which many dismiss as "just aging." But vascular specialists know better: CVI is a progressive, diagnosable, and treatable condition.
At Center for Vein Restoration (CVR), our mission extends beyond treating veins; we strive to educate the public about venous and lymphatic health, enabling people to recognize symptoms early and access effective, minimally invasive care.

Whether you spend long days flying, standing, or sitting, or simply experience leg fatigue and swelling, it's a signal worth hearing—and doing something about.
