Lymphedema therapy and management
Lymphedema is swelling (typically of an extremity) caused by an accumulation of protein-rich waste fluid in the body.
Our team includes certified therapists, trained at the Academy for Lymphatic Studies, and they offer complete decongestive therapy (CDT). The goal of our lymphedema program is to reduce the swelling and help you regain functional independence.
Consult your doctor if you have any signs of infection (redness, rash or fever) or if you have any questions about your lymphedema.
Preventing and controlling lymphedema
The following steps may be used to prevent and control lymphedema:
- Wear your bandages at night and compression garment(s) during the day.
- Elevate the affected limb at night.
- Perform self manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) daily.
- When traveling by airplane, wrap your extremity with the compression bandages during the flight.
- Replace compression garments at least every four to six months.
