What is Lymphedema?

Benefits of Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Treatment....
Welcome to Westbury Total Health Care


Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the interstitial tissue that causes swelling, most often in the arm(s) and/or leg(s), and occasionally in other parts of the body. Lymphedema can develop when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired (primary), or when lymph vessels are damaged or lymph nodes removed (secondary).

When the impairment becomes so great that the lymphatic fluid exceeds the lymphatic transport capacity, an abnormal amount of protein-rich fluid collects in the tissues of the affected area. Left untreated, this stagnant, protein-rich fluid not only causes tissue channels to increase in size and number, but also reduces oxygen availability in the transport system, interferes with wound healing, and provides a culture medium for bacteria that can result in lymphangitis (infection).

Physical therapy and chiropratic care can help people with both acute and chronic conditions and can help people of all ages. People of all health and fitness levels are candidates for physical therapy depending on your injury. Physical therapy is not just for individuals who have had a specific injury or surgery. Some of our patients suffer from chronic aches and pains without ever having had a specific injury. Contact our office for more information to see if you are candidate for physical therapy or Chiropractic treatment at Westbury Total Health Care. Our specialists aim to help restore movement and function to their prior level of independence. It's your future... be there healthy!
