What is Lymphedema?

Lymphedema is an abnormal buildup of fluid, or swelling, often in the arms or legs. The condition develops when lymphatic vessels or lymph nodes are missing, impaired, damaged, or removed due to surgery, heredity, venous or arterial disease, traumatic injury, or cancer treatment. Although lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disease, it can usually be brought under control with proper care by a physician and qualified therapist.

How can the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center help me with my lymphedema?

We can achieve maximum results by using a safe, non-invasive treatment known as Complex Lymphatic Therapy (CLT). It works to return your limb to normal or near normal size. Lymphedema is then able to be controlled, with more improvement over time.

Lymphedema Alert Bracelets

The Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center is proud to announce that we now have custom-designed lymphedema bracelets available for a donation of $35. The attractive, sterling silver bracelets have been designed to alert medical personnel that the person wearing the bracelet has lymphedema, or risk of lymphedema, and that bloodwork and blood pressures should not be done on that arm.

If you, or anyone you know, could benefit from this medical alert, call us at 814-467-0044.
