What is a Venous Ulcer?
A venous ulcer is an open wound that typically develops around the ankle or lower leg due to poor blood flow in the veins. These wounds can be slow to heal without proper treatment.

💡 Vein Health Isn’t Just About Pain
Visible veins but no discomfort? That doesn’t always mean everything’s fine.

Vein disease can start silently — with subtle signs that are easy to ignore:
🌀 Tired, heavy legs after standing
🧦 Sock marks that don’t fade quickly
🌙 Restless legs at night
💥 Mild swelling that comes and goes

These may seem small, but left untreated, they can progress — even without pain.

✨ The earlier you seek care, the easier it is to manage and treat your symptoms long-term.

Dr. Bolton offers thorough, physician-led vein assessments right here in Grande Prairie — because healthy legs are about more than just how they look. 💙
