Compression Garments for Lymphedema
Education, Fitting & Ongoing Support
Compression therapy is one of the most important tools in managing lymphedema. Whether you're newly diagnosed or a long-time lymphedema warrior, having the right compression garment—and knowing how to use it correctly—can make a world of difference in controlling swelling, protecting your skin, and maintaining your daily comfort.
At our clinic, we specialize in guiding you through every step of compression garment education and fitting, ensuring the best results and long-term success.
Why Compression Matters in Lymphedema Care
Lymphedema occurs when lymph fluid collects in the tissues, causing swelling. Compression garments provide gentle, graduated pressure that helps:
- Encourage lymph fluid to move in the right direction
- Prevent fluid buildup after manual lymphatic drainage
- Maintain limb size after decongestive therapy
- Reduce discomfort, heaviness, and fatigue in the affected area
- Lower the risk of infections and skin breakdown
Our Compression Garment Services Include:
We take precise measurements and consider your specific needs, mobility, and daily activities. Whether you need compression sleeves, stockings, gloves, or specialized garments for the chest, abdomen, or face—we make sure you're fitted with the most effective option for your body and lifestyle.
We show you how to put garments on and take them off safely (with or without donning aids), how long to wear them each day, and how to spot signs that you may need a new size or style.
We help you choose between custom-made and off-the-shelf garments, and we work with trusted brands that are comfortable, durable, and clinically effective.
Compression garments are often covered by insurance. We assist with navigating documentation, prescriptions, and ordering so you can focus on your care—not the paperwork.
Your compression needs can change with time or progress in therapy. We provide periodic reassessments to ensure your garment continues to fit well and function effectively.
Wearing Compression Shouldn't Be a Struggle
The right garment should feel like a support system, not a burden. If your current compression is uncomfortable, slips, cuts into your skin, or just isn't working—we can help troubleshoot and explore better options.
Feel Supported—Every Step of the Way
We're here to make compression therapy a smooth, empowering part of your lymphedema care—not something you have to figure out alone. With expert fittings and compassionate guidance, we ensure you're comfortable, confident, and supported every day.
