Venous Insufficiency.

Over 40 million Americans suffer daily with painful, swollen legs as a result of venous disease. This condition is the result of faulty valves in the veins and is called Venous Insufficiency.

In a healthy vein, there are one-way valves that allow the blood to move toward the heart, but not away. In a diseased vein, these valves do not work properly, allowing the blood to fall downward in between heartbeats.

This back-and-forth motion of blood leads to an increased venous blood pressure resulting in inflammation of the tissues around the vein... Left untreated, this condition only worsens over time.
