Who is lymphedema care for?

This service is for people living with lymphedema who need help managing swelling, changes in their symptoms, or day-to-day care. Treatment may include lymphatic drainage, compression assessment and fitting, skin care, exercise and movement guidance, and practical strategies to help manage lymphedema at home.

New, painful swelling or a hot, tender area with fever needs prompt medical assessment before a routine appointment.23 For active cancer, your oncologist’s approval may be required.

Frequently asked questions

Should I bring my current compression garments?

Yes. Bring any compression garments you already use. Your therapist can review the fit, discuss difficulties putting them on or wearing them, and assess whether measuring or fitting is needed.

Will treatment cure my lymphedema?

Is lymphedema care covered by massage therapy insurance?
