In a normal lymphatic system, our lymphatic vessels carry waste fluid through the lymph nodes and back into the heart. Lymphedema can occur when your lymphatic vessels are not effectively moving this fluid and it accumulates, causing chronic swelling. Lymphedema can be caused by the damage, removal, or malformation of the lymph nodes or vessels.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency is swelling that occurs when the valves in your veins fail or leak, causing leg pain, swelling, and spider and varicose veins.
Everyone is always super kind and friendly. I know physical therapy can be embarrassing or sometimes scary, but put your mind at ease. You won’t feel any of that when you meet them. I highly recommend Hulst Jepsen. Great staff! Very knowledgeable.
