Lymphedema Program

If lymph nodes are removed or damaged by surgery or radiation treatments, lymph fluid may accumulate and cause swelling in the limb or torso. This type of swelling is known as lymphedema.

Using state of the art equipment, our certified lymphedema therapists can identify early signs of lymphedema and start therapy early.

Health insurance covers most cancer-related therapy services. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us or your insurance provider. Together we can create an effective therapy program that will ease your symptoms and let you focus on your health.
