Lymphedema
Lymphedema is an abnormal increase of protein-rich fluid that causes swelling in the arms and legs. If left untreated it can interfere with wound healing and increase the risk of infection. Through effective management, patients can reduce pain and swelling, promote wound healing, prevent skin infections and improve functioning of the affected limb and quality of life.
What We treat
We offer a personalized, comprehensive treatment program to help patients who have or are at risk for lymphedema caused by radiation and/or cancer surgeries, trauma, infections, filariasis, tumors, obesity, venous insufficiency, and congenital/hereditary disorders.
"When my doctor told me that I needed treatment for lymphedema, I didn't know what it was. I knew that I had had swollen legs and feet for years and that I now had blisters on my legs. Jennifer Spencer was recommended to me for lymphedema therapy, a different kind of physical therapy. She not only treated the lymphedema in my legs, but she treated my whole body. She has shared strategies and exercises to help decrease urinary incontinence, another one of my problems. The exercises made a difference and she combined them with posture and core strengthening. The therapy has helped me to improve my walking which was one of my main goals. I am much more mobile now. Therapy with Jennifer has made such a difference."
