Baylor Scott & White Outpatient Rehabilitation – Greenville

In this common, chronic debilitating condition, excess fluid called lymph collects in tissues, causing swelling (edema) and impaired flows of the lymphatic system. Symptoms of lymphedema include swelling in one or more extremities. The swelling may range from mild to severe and can be disfiguring. Complex lymphedema therapy consists of the following treatments:

• Lymphatic drainage
• Compression bandaging
• Skin care
• Patient-specific physical therapy exercises
• Exercise, which is emerging as an important component of lymphedema treatment

Physical therapy treats patients with joint and muscle issues, including neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle pain, stiffness and weakness. Our physical therapists also treat patients with lymphedema and a variety of neurological conditions, including patients with Parkinson’s disease, following stroke and with vestibular dysfunction (dizziness and balance issues).
