Are You Suffering From Lymphedema In The Greater Birmingham Area And Are Trying To Find Help?
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.
