Lymphedema is the chronic swelling of a body part caused by a malformation (primary lymphedema) or malfunction (secondary lymphedema) of the lymphatic system. Secondary lymphedema often develops as a result of surgical and medical interventions for the treatment of breast cancer. A high protein edema can most often affect an arm or a leg, but can also occur in the face, neck, abdomen or other parts of the body. In accordance with the award winning lymphatic drainage techniques that were designed in France by Bruno Chikly, MD our therapists utilize a distinct manual process to enhance lymphatic flow along precise anatomical routes. The recognition of extensive and complex lymph vessels, combined with appropriate manual therapy, can improve venous conditions, detoxify the body, relieve chronic pain and swelling, and enhance the regeneration of some tissues.
