Lymphedema Program

The Lymphedema Program at Slocum Dickson allows patients with chronic or acute edema (swelling) of the limbs or other body parts due to illnesses such as cancer, injuries, and birth abnormalities gain control of their condition. This specialized program with a certified therapist was created to provide effective and compassionate treatment for people affected by this condition. Our approach focuses on reducing swelling and restoring confidence and function in daily living.
