Managing Lymphedema with Compression Garments

Lymphedema, though incurable, can be effectively managed, and incorporating compression garments into your management plan is crucial. These garments are specifically designed to exert continuous pressure on the affected area, aiding in fluid drainage and reducing swelling.

External compression plays a pivotal role by applying counterforce to the underlying musculature, known as "working pressure." This working pressure helps prevent the re-accumulation of fluids that may have been evacuated during intensive complete decongestive therapy (CDT) and preserves the results achieved through manual lymphatic drainage (MLD).

To determine if compression therapy is the right approach for your lymphedema, it's essential to consult your physician. Reach out to Bras and Honey in San Diego to discover the perfect fit for your compression garments. We're here to support your journey towards managing lymphedema effectively.
