Conditions we help with
Tissue swelling caused by a problem in the lymphatic system. While there is no cure, with good management it can be improved and controlled.
Swelling present for more than three months—often in the legs—with causes such as immobility, venous issues, surgery, heart failure or obesity.
Bilateral, symmetrical limb swelling—usually the legs—linked to an abnormal build‑up of fat cells. Can sometimes affect the arms.
