Poor Circulation & Leg Swelling
Why its happening
Poor circulation occurs when valves in your leg veins aren’t working to properly maintain blood flow back to the heart. Blood then pools and causes leg swelling. Poor circulation impacts lymphatic function too as lymph fluid, which normally drains into your blood veins, is slowed or trapped and creates more swelling.
Poor circulation generates serious leg health issues:
- chronic swelling in legs, ankles and feet
- varicose veins
- leg ulcers
- DVT deep vein thrombosis
- lymphedema
Reduce swelling to increase circulation
You can quickly reduce swelling and improve circulation with the combination of lymphatic massage and compression bandaging, called CDT. Once swelling's reduced compression garments keep it from returning.
