What  Is Lymphedema Management?

Lymphedema Management is a comprehensive program designed to control fluid buildup in the tissues caused by impaired lymphatic circulation. Treatment focuses on reducing swelling, preventing infections, and improving limb function through specialized therapies, compression, and patient education.

What to Expect from Lymphedema Management

During treatment, patients receive a thorough assessment of the affected area, followed by a tailored plan that may include manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise guidance, and skin care instruction. Ongoing monitoring ensures treatment effectiveness and adapts care as needed.
