FAQs

Southern VIP offers advanced vascular care for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) at five convenient locations across Mississippi and Tennessee. You can visit us at:
  • Olive Branch, MS
  • Union City, TN
  • Dyersburg, TN
  • Jackson, TN
  • Ripley, TN
Each location provides comprehensive PAD evaluation, minimally invasive treatments, and ongoing vascular care. To find the nearest clinic and schedule your appointment, visit southernvascularandfootrescue.com/contact.
PAD testing begins with an evaluation of your symptoms and circulation. Common signs include:
  • Leg pain or cramping when walking that eases with rest
  • Nonhealing foot wounds or ulcers
  • Numbness, tingling, or coldness in the feet
  • One leg that looks or feels different from the other
Southern VIP uses two primary noninvasive tests to diagnose PAD:
  • Toe-Brachial Index (TBI) – a highly accurate test that measures blood flow to the toes and is considered the gold standard for PAD diagnosis.
  • Vascular Ultrasound – a painless imaging study that visualizes blood flow and detects blockages in the arteries.
If you have diabetes, a smoking history, or symptoms of poor circulation, schedule a vascular screening at one of our Southern VIP locations.

Yes. Southern VIP frequently provides second opinions for patients who have been told they need a leg or foot amputation due to poor circulation or advanced Peripheral Artery Disease.

Our specialists often find ways to restore blood flow using minimally invasive procedures, helping patients avoid amputation and regain mobility. If you’ve been told there are no options left, we encourage you to contact us for a vascular evaluation before proceeding with surgery.

Southern VIP performs Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) at our Olive Branch, MS, and Union City, TN locations. 

PAE is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems. It’s an effective, non-surgical alternative to traditional prostate surgery with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, or nighttime urination, you may be a candidate for Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE). Southern VIP performs PAE at our Olive Branch, MS, and Union City, TN centers.

Our interventional radiology team can evaluate your symptoms, perform imaging, and determine whether PAE is the right solution for you. Schedule a consultation today to learn more about this minimally invasive treatment option.

 Yes. Southern VIP performs both spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trials and permanent implants at our Fulton, Olive Branch, and Union City locations.

These image-guided procedures help patients with chronic neuropathic or radicular pain find lasting relief when conservative treatments haven’t worked. Many patients experience significant improvement in function, sleep, and quality of life following SCS therapy.
