What Is Lymphedema and the Symptoms

Lymphedema occurs when there is a blockage in the lymphatic system, causing fluid to build up in the tissues and leading to swelling, often in the arms or legs. This condition can result from surgery, cancer treatment, or other medical conditions that damage the lymphatic system. Without proper management, lymphedema can cause pain, restricted movement, and an increased risk of infection.

The symptoms of lymphedema can vary depending on the severity but often include:

• Swelling in the arms, legs, or other affected areas

• A heavy or tight feeling in the limbs

• Restricted movement

• Pain or discomfort in the swollen areas

• Recurring infections

• Thickening or hardening of the skin

Our Holistic Approach to Lymphedema Relief

Managing lymphedema requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the condition's physical and emotional aspects. Our therapies are designed to promote healthy lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and improve your overall sense of well-being. We combine acupuncture and massage therapy to provide a natural, non-invasive solution to help you feel better.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a proven method for improving lymphatic drainage and reducing swelling. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, we help restore balance to your body’s energy flow, which can be disrupted by lymphedema. Acupuncture can also enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease the discomfort of this condition. Many patients find that regular acupuncture sessions help reduce swelling and improve their range of motion, leading to long-term relief.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy, especially lymphatic drainage massage, is a powerful tool for managing lymphedema. Our specialized massage techniques gently remove the excess lymph fluid from the affected areas, reducing swelling and improving mobility. This massage also helps to relax the body, reduce stress, and support the lymphatic system in functioning more effectively. With consistent massage therapy, you can experience reduced swelling, better movement, and a higher quality of life.
