Specialized Lymphedema care in Northeast Pennsylvania

Lymphedema is an abnormal swelling of the arm, leg, or another body part due to an excessive buildup of fluid called lymph. In the U.S. today, one-third of all patients develop lymphedema after mastectomy. This condition affects both men and women who receive lymph node dissection, radiation, injury or infection. Some individuals may be born with the swelling, and others get it for no apparent reason.

If you’re living with lymphedema, we can help you to manage your symptoms and improve your mobility and independence.

The lymphedema program at Allied Services provides comprehensive rehab care to patients with acute to chronic lymphedema. Our staff has attended advanced training and several are certified in the Vodder Technique, as well as by the Lymphedema Association of North America (LANA).

Symptoms of lymphedema include swelling of the head, trunk, abdomen, genitals, limb, or part of a limb. Other symptoms include a feeling of heaviness in the limb, the skin feeling tight, a decrease in the flexibility of the limb, and difficulty fitting into clothing.
