Understanding Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid, leading to swelling, discomfort, and potential functional limitations. It commonly affects the arms and legs, but can also occur in other parts of the body. This condition can be caused by various factors including surgery, radiation therapy, trauma, infections, or certain genetic disorders.
Living with lymphedema can be challenging, but with the right treatment approach, it is possible to manage the condition and alleviate its symptoms. At Function Ability Physical Therapy, our experienced therapists work closely with you to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
Our comprehensive treatment options for lymphedema incorporate evidence-based techniques and innovative approaches to deliver optimal results. Our services include:
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): This gentle massage technique stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting the flow of lymphatic fluid, reducing swelling, and improving lymphatic function.
- Compression Therapy: We utilize specialized compression garments or bandages to provide external pressure, helping to minimize swelling and improve overall lymphatic circulation.
- Exercise Therapy: Our therapists guide you through targeted exercises to enhance mobility, promote lymphatic flow, and improve muscular strength.
- Skin Care: We emphasize the importance of proper skin care to prevent infection and manage any existing skin complications associated with lymphedema.
