Lymphedema Care
Lymphedema care focuses on reducing swelling, improving circulation, and supporting healing for patients managing chronic conditions or recovering from injury or surgery.
About the treatment
At Anchor Wound Management, we provide lymphedema care and swelling management for patients across the Dallas, Fort Worth, and greater DFW area.
Our goal is to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support healing for patients managing chronic conditions or recovering from injury or surgery.
Lymphedema is a condition that causes swelling due to a buildup of lymphatic fluid, often in the arms or legs.
This occurs when the lymphatic system is not functioning properly, which can happen after surgery, injury, or as a result of certain medical conditions.
Without proper management, lymphedema can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and increased risk of complications.
How Lymphedema Affects Healing
Swelling caused by lymphedema can slow down or prevent proper wound healing.
Excess fluid in the tissue can:
Reduce circulation
Increase risk of infection
Delay healing of wounds
Cause discomfort and skin changes
Managing lymphedema is an important part of supporting overall healing and preventing further complications.
