The body is an amazing creation. It has so many ways to heal and protect itself. As an example, your white blood cells, are your body's defenders against viruses and bacteria. When they identify something in your body that shouldn't be there, they respond by triggering inflammation to fight off the invaders. Many times, inflammation is a good thing - your body's natural way of protecting itself and of healing itself after trauma. In this video, I share information to help you understand exactly what inflammation is and what it does for your body.
Even the name, "inflammation" comes from the Latin word that means "to set fire." Your body's inflammatory response is where you see redness, heat, pain and swelling. It fights infection and helps heal your body.
Simply put, inflammation is a healing response that allows the body to fight off any infections. Your body only has a few ways to respond to different situations, and one of those responses is inflammation. Inflammation can last from hours, days, months and even years. When it lasts more than a few days or weeks, it's likely not healthy - an indicator of an underlying condition that needs attention.

Inflammation and its most common symptom - chronic fatigue - are frequently present with a vein condition. Almost all of the patients we treat had some sort of inflammation prior to treatment. For patients with a vein condition, the stagnant blood, from vein reflux, causes leg symptoms and chronic fatigue. The good news is, these significantly improve or go away after treatment.
