Issues that Lymphedema Therapy can help minimize

Lymphedema therapy is used to treat swelling caused by lymphatic vessel damage or abnormal development. Primary lymphedema may be present at birth or inherited, while secondary lymphedema can develop after surgery, radiation, cancer, infection, chronic venous insufficiency, trauma, or immobility. Typical symptoms include swelling, skin tightness, pitting, heaviness, or loss of normal body contours.
