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.
Hulst Jepsen has been instrumental in my recovery after knee replacement surgery. The staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly. If I ever need physical therapy again I will be asking that I be referred to Hulst Jepsen! I would recommend them to everyone!
