Lymphedema Center

Our lymphedema therapy center can help anyone with swelling due to cancer, infection, trauma, or mastectomy. Even complex cases often see a significant reduction in chronic swelling and an improved quality of life.

Our Approach: Complete Decongestive Therapy

Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is an intensive program that combines many effective treatments, including Skin Care, Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), Compression Therapy, Lymphedema Exercises, and Education. CDT is considered the gold standard of treatment for lymphedema beyond stage 1 - meaning there is visible swelling without pitting (a temporary indentation forms on the skin when pressed) and there may be evidence of fibrosis (scarring of soft tissue). Your Lymphedema Therapist can work with you over time to make sure your lymphedema stays under control. Our client's results speak for themselves.

"I am pleased to recommend Jennifer Vonarb. For over two years I had chronic swelling and pain in my foot and ankle. No tangible relief was offered to me even after consulting with four different doctors. In July 2011, I was depressed, frustrated and anxious about my condition. I couldn't wear a proper shoe and was buying two pairs of the same shoe. I wore my regular shoe size on the left foot and a larger size on the right foot. I checked the internet and decided to contact CLPT. Jennifer Vonarb provided a technique, along with education, which manually drained the fluid from my leg, ankle, and foot. This was in the space of two weeks! I am now free of the nagging pain and also wearing my regular size shoes. The entire staff are trained and equipped to support Jennifer and her goal to make you well."
