Lymphedema

Managing Lymphedema Symptoms with Physical Therapy

Finding Relief with Lymphedema

Lymphedema is categorized as a swelling disease that usually occurs in the upper or lower extremities due to excessive build-up of lymph fluid.

In some cases, people with these symptoms know that they have lymphedema, while in others, the condition may need to be diagnosed.

The lymphatic system is an important part of your immune and circulatory systems. It’s a network of vessels that carry lymph fluid to the core. Lymphedema may occur when that system is not working properly.

If your lymphatic system is blocked, you may feel swelling of your arms or legs, as the fluid cannot drain properly. Improper drainage results in the build-up of lymph fluid in your arms and legs, which may pose potential health hazards if left untreated.

If you are dealing with this condition, there is, fortunately, a safe way for you to manage your symptoms: physical therapy in Muncy and Montoursville, PA. Contact Lycoming Physical Therapy today and schedule an appointment – let us help you find the relief you deserve!
