Ailment Overview
Lymphedema occurs when the lymphatic system is compromised, leading to fluid buildup in tissues, typically in the arms or legs. It often arises after surgeries, particularly when lymph nodes are removed or damaged, such as in cancer treatments. Swelling, pain, and reduced mobility are common symptoms, which can increase the risk of infection and slow wound healing.
Our Specialization
At Advanced Wound Therapy, we specialize in providing advanced care for patients with lymphedema by incorporating:
- Compression therapy to reduce swelling and promote proper lymphatic drainage.
- Skin care education to prevent complications like infections.
- Personalized wound care regimens that focus on managing and preventing secondary wounds, such as cellulitis and ulcers, which can arise from untreated lymphedema.
- Mobile therapy options, ensuring patients receive consistent care without needing to travel to a clinic, reducing the burden of movement on swollen limbs.
