LYMPHEDEWMA
(WOUND CARE)
Edema and
Wound Care Clinics
The Edema and Wound Care Clinics utilize a comprehensive
approach to treating lymphedema and chronic swelling caused by the
failure of the lymphatic and venous system to carry away waste fluids,
toxins and proteins. The lymphatic system may be compromised by
surgery, radiation, or by congenitally determined lymphatic abnormality.
Lymphedema poses a continuous risk of infection and other complications
if left untreated.
The Edema and Wound Care Clinics accept primary and secondary insurance
and will help preauthorize as well as accepting cash payment and
VISA and Mastercard.
