What is venous reflux? Venous reflux, or chronic venous insufficiency, occurs when the valves in the leg veins stop working correctly. Instead of pushing blood upward toward the heart, the faulty valves allow blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. This pooling raises pressure in the veins and causes swelling, aching, and varicose veins. In more serious cases, it can lead to skin damage and ulcers.
Are you experiencing one or more of these symptoms? Our team at VIRA can help you take the next steps toward improving your vein health. Schedule your✨FREE✨vein screening during the week of August 18–23 by calling us or clicking the link below to request an appointment online.
Did you know that compression socks play a vital role in supporting vein health? They are especially beneficial during exercise, prolonged standing, and travel by promoting healthy blood circulation 🫀
At VIRA, we practice what we preach—our very own Stephanie proudly wears her medical-grade compression socks throughout her busy day of caring for our patients at VIRA, ensuring both comfort and circulation remain a priority! 💜

At Vascular & Interventional Radiology, our board-certified physicians are experienced interventional radiologists (IR’s), offering minimally invasive solutions for a patient’s health problems.
All reasons there’s an IR in MIRACLE! Using image-guided support, VIRA’s doctors use micro-instruments to access the root of the problem, intervening with precision, without large incisions, so most patients go home the same day and recuperate much quicker.
Interventional radiology (IR) therapies significantly reduce the risk of infection to patients.
VIRA's new outpatient therapy suite in north Macon not only offers patients personal care and convenience but also a sterile, trusted treatment environment. While our treatments are innovative and technologically advanced, we practice medicine the old fashioned way. At VIRA, you are always seen by a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Interventional Radiology is the medicine of the future and VIRA's physicians are at the forefront of new treatments. In 2016 Dr. Art McCain was one of the first ten physicians in the world to simultaneously ablate a spinal tumor while stabilizing the spine. This procedure has quickly gained acclaim as a giant step in pain relief for cancer patients.
VIRA Physicians offer nonsurgical therapies to treat and relieve:
Uterine Fibroids (uterine fibroid embolization)
Varicose Veins
Spinal Compression Fractures (vertebral body augmentation)
