Edema, lymphedema and varicose veins

Swelling and a feeling of heaviness in the legs — this is not just tiredness.

Weakness of the quadriceps, the four-headed muscle at the front of the thigh, may impair blood and lymph flow — which causes edema and swelling.

Varicose veins and the internal organs

The cause of varicose veins is linked to our internal organs and the diaphragm. That is why surgery or injections have only a temporary effect. Osteopathy, electrotherapy and physical modalities, and hirudotherapy help treat the cause of the problem.

Fat buildup on the upper back

Fat that builds up on the upper back is not just a cosmetic issue — it may be a sign of a circulatory disorder and a postural problem. During the examination, it may be found that lymph flow is impaired and lymphedema has accumulated.
