Redeemer Health's Lymphedema Specialists are Here to Help

If you're experiencing abnormal swelling in your arms or legs, you may have developed lymphedema. This is a condition in which excess fluid collects in tissues and causes swelling. Lymphedema can occur following cancer treatment, trauma, or in those who have circulation problems.

While there is no cure for lymphedema, there are ways to manage the condition, ensure your comfort, and prevent its occurrence.

Our treatments include:

• Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)—lymph drainage massage to improve circulation
• Gradient compression bandages and garments to reduce swelling
• Exercises to aid flexibility, strength, circulation, and endurance
• Modalities such as laser treatments to complement other therapies
• Education on treatments you can do at home to provide relief
• Specialized therapies for breast swelling and pain due to surgery
