People who have undergone lymph node removal, traumatic injury or burns cam be at risk for lymphedema or swelling caused by the abnormal buildup of fluid, which can result in a feeling of heaviness and a decline in mobility. Venous insufficiency caused by cardiac conditions, diabetes and obesity can also lead to lymphedema. LRMC’s Lymphedema Clinic offers the specialized skill and knowledge of our licensed physical therapists. Our program helps patients and their families reduce the effects of lymphedema and better manage this chronic condition, ultimately improving quality of life.
