Lymphedema Therapy
Find Relief from Pain and Discomfort
Your lymph nodes play a vital part in removing excess fluid from your body and when they’re affected by injury, surgery, radiation or even a deformity at birth,
you may experience a type of swelling called Lymphedema. Lymphedema causes an abnormal amount of swelling in your body tissue, such as an arm or leg, that can’t be relieved through elevation. Some people experience Lymphedema in the breast,
head and neck, or genitalia as well.
