Lymphedema PDF Print E-mail

The most commonly treated patients are those with secondary lymphedema.

Lymphedema is managed through physical therapy, utilizing complete decongestive therapy (CDT). CDT consists of meticulous skin care, manual lymph drainage, compression bandaging, exercise, and referral for an appropriately fitting compression garment. In order to reduce the edema, patients are seen for CDT three to five times per week for up to six weeks. Many patients utilize an intermittent compression pump in conjunction with CDT in order to maintain edema reduction.
