Lymphedema Treatment
Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a disease caused by damage or malformation of the lymphatic system.
Often Lymphedema is brought on by surgery and/or radiation for cancer treatment. Chemotherapy may also play a part in the causation of Lymphedema.
Lymphedema is a progressive disorder that can be greatly improved through the use of Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).

Lymphedema Treatment
Advanced Lymphedema is treated by Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) of which Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) and/or Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) are a part.
Pain & Swelling Solutions offers treatment for Lymphedema. Book your appointment today.
Compression Bandaging
As part of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), compression bandaging is applied to the affected area.
Bandaging helps:
- Keep fluid from returning to the area
- Assists the lymphatic system in pumping fluid out of the affected area as the body moves
- Breaks up hard (fibrotic) tissues, making the area softer.
If a person is able to use Electro-Lymphatic Drainage (ELT), the necessity for compression bandaging is often minimized.
Compression Garments
Lymphedema is managed long-term (following Complete Decongestive Therapy) by wearing specially fitted compression garments.
