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.
I had gone to a different place years ago and did not have a good experience, which made me skeptical of physical therapy in general. However, after going to Hulst Jepsen I can say I appreciate and thank everyone there for taking such good care of me and really caring for everyone that comes through the door.
