TREATING YOUR
Lymphedema
Are you seeking relief from lymphedema?
At Active Rehab Centre, we understand the challenges and discomfort associated with lymphedema. Our multidisciplinary approach combines advanced treatments with compassionate care to help you manage lymphedema symptoms and improve your quality of life.
What causes lymphedema?
Lymphedema can occur due to various factors, including:
-
Procedures such as mastectomy or lymph node dissection can disrupt the lymphatic system, leading to lymphedema.
-
Radiation treatment for cancer can damage the lymphatic vessels and nodes, impairing lymph drainage and causing fluid buildup.
-
Tumors or cancer-related inflammation can obstruct lymphatic flow, resulting in lymphedema.
-
Infections such as cellulitis can damage the lymphatic system, causing swelling and inflammation in the affected area.
-
Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to lymphatic system abnormalities, increasing their risk of developing lymphedema.
