Lymphedema

Lymphedema is swelling that can occur in an arm or a leg due to a malfunction in the lymph system. You can be born with lymphedema, it can occur during puberty, or it can occur as a result of having your lymph nodes removed or treated with radiation.

At Advent Rehabilitation, our certified lymphedema therapists can help you recognize the symptoms of lymphedema and manage these symptoms before the condition worsens. Therapy may include bandaging, garment fitting, manual lymph drainage massage, education on proper skin care and exercise instruction.

If you notice a change in the way that your arm or leg looks or feels, or if you have any questions regarding garments, bandaging, exercises, or the latest air travel recommendations, please contact your doctor or health care professional for a referral to the Lymphedema Program at Advent Rehabilitation. We also welcome phone calls or emails with any questions that you may have.
