Lymphedema Rehab
Lymphedema is a condition that results from lymphatic fluid accumulation that can occur after surgery or radiation treatments. It also causes painful and uncomfortable swelling in your arm, leg, head or neck.
Baton Rouge General is proud to be the region’s only lymphedema treatment center recognized by the National Lymphedema Network. Our specially trained lymphedema therapists work with you to promote physical and psychological recovery and support you with post-surgical expectations, edema control, exercise and lymphedema management.
