Lymphedema Programs
Lymphedema is a chronic swelling in the arm, leg, the chest or back due to accumulation of protein-rich fluid. This swelling is the result of an obstruction of the venous or lymphatic systems. Left untreated, lymphedema can lead to limited mobility, decreased strength, and decreased range of motion. (S) = Servicios disponible en espanol.
