You people are awesome. My Friend has shown a significant amount of progression and improvement since he’s been a patient there. ...Especially Ms.Lillie, Mr. Tim, Mr. Gregory, and Ms. Daisy!!! Your staff is excellent and very supportive.

They are phenomenal and making you feel as comfortable as possible in an extremely uncomfortable situation.My therapists's Her optimism makes me feel so much better I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of improvement can be made over the next few months

It is easy to see why the care you get here is second to none. All of the employees are super nice. You can feel the positive vibe throughout the facility. It is almost like the love of Christ has blessed this business. My pain in my legs has truly subsided, and they do not feel like they weigh a ton at the end of the day anymore.

Wow. Just wow. I couldn’t find anyone in the Austin area who has such comprehensive knowledge and expertise in treating lymphedema. I found Lymphedema Therapy Specialists online and called, after reading other reviews. After interviewing (I asked the questions!) I decided it was definitely worth the 3 hour drive to Houston.

Very, very personable staff. Great atmosphere. All personnel will stop to help even if you're not their patient. Walk by and ask if you need anything, i.e. water, blanket, etc. Even ask patients waiting for ride if they can do anything to make wait easier.

Learn More About Lymphedema
Lymphedema Treatment Explained
Lymphedema is considered a long-term condition where excess fluid collects in the tissues of the body and causes extreme swelling. The fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system is called lymph. When excess lymph fluid accumulates, swelling occurs and often causes pain and discomfort such as feelings of heaviness or pressure to extremities.
The lymphatic system is vital in keeping the body’s immune system functioning properly. Your lymphatic system is a network of organs, cells, ducts, and lymph nodes that can be found throughout your body. Untreated lymphedema can lead to lymphangitis, or inflammation of the lymphatic system, which is a major component of your immune system. Lymphangitis can spread rapidly, which can lead to complications such as cellulitis, a skin infection, or sepsis, a bodily infection that can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
Lymphatic drainage is a helpful process to maintain the lymphatic system in good condition for optimum health. The main purpose of the lymphatic system is to encourage the immune system to operate well during the normal process of cleaning and nourishing all the cells in the body, regardless of their function. A lymphatic system that is functioning poorly can adversely affect every part of the body. Lymphatic drainage techniques can mitigate the effects of unhealthy lifestyle choices and environmental pollutants that can compromise the immune system. Learn more about Lymphedema including research, World Lymphedema Day, and the annual Global Run/Walk to Fight Lymphatic Disease.
One of the most important ways to help a patient in managing their condition is through education on prevention and therapy. Our trained therapists will help you understand how lymphedema occurs as well as proper precautions that can be taken to minimize swelling and other associated effects. A full evaluation must be completed before starting additional compression techniques to prevent swelling.
By developing an at-home plan for self-management, a patient can see much better results than just getting one massage. Home treatment components include compression garments, gradient compression bandaging, intermittent pneumatic compression devices, meticulous skin and nail care, and daily exercise. Maintaining a healthy weight can also help to manage symptoms.
If the patient has wounds related to their Lymphedema, these wounds will be treated by cleaning the wound and surrounding area and applying whatever our wound care expert recommends specific to the patient. If the patient has severe wounds, they do have the option of an IV antibiotic treatment which will help even the most severe wounds to heal rapidly.

In addition to being of benefit to those suffering from lymphedema, the following is a list of a few problems that can be eased by lymphatic drainage:
– Edema, or swelling of certain body parts, which may be the result of traumatic injury, menstrual problems, or skin disorders.
– Skin disorders, such as acne, rosacea, eczema and seborrhea
– Metabolic problems, including fatigue, sleep disorders, chronic pain and stress
– Gastrointestinal issues, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), celiac and
– Crohn’s disease
– Rheumatology disorders, like arthritis and osteoporosis
– Neurologic problems such as migraines and vertigo
Lymphatic drainage is sometimes used for people dealing with such issues as arthritis, orthopedic injuries, knee or hip surgery, systemic sclerosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and swelling and fatigue associated with menopause. Contrary to popular belief, lymphatic drainage is beneficial to those that have no underlying health problems as a means of keeping the lymph system healthy before any problems arise. At LTS, our therapy specialists are highly trained in all the areas of lymphatic drainage to be able to help those that have any of these specific conditions that need to be addressed.

Manual Lymph Drainage

Compression Pumps

Compression Bandaging

Wound Care
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), developed by Dr. Emil & Dr. Estrid Vodder in 1932, is a manual therapy similar to a massage designed to encourage the circulation of lymph fluid out of the swollen area and back through the lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage is done through a combination of techniques that are specifically designed to stimulate the flow of lymph in the body. People may benefit from lymphatic drainage to treat a wide array of disorders, from edema (swelling) to wrinkles.
Medical professionals can attend extensive schooling and training to become certified in MLD. With it’s proven efficacy in reducing swelling in Lymphedema patients, MLD is a staple of Lymphedema treatment. Doctors often recommend patients who have undergone specific surgeries or treatments to get MLD, also referred to as a lymphatic massage, as it is preventative care to prevent swelling and the development of Lymphedema.
In addition to manual lymph drainage, other therapies can also assist patients that suffer from lymphedema. Pneumatic compression therapy is well-established as a component of lymphedema therapy and works by improving venous circulation for anyone suffering from venous insufficiency. Compression of the limb may be applied in various ways including multi-layer bandaging, compression stockings, custom compression garments, and compression orthotics. Our Houston Lymhedema Clinic is here to help you in your treatment journey.
Pneumatic Compression Pumps are a very important tool in treating Lymphedema. These devices administer intermittent compression via an inflatable garment– such as an arm sleeve/ pant leg or vest. Many patients experience a reduction of fluid and swelling after a session on a pneumatic compression device. This process enhances the benefits of MLD (Manual Lymph Drainage) and multi-layer compression bandaging.
During treatment, a patient will spend part of their visit on one of our Pneumatic Compression Devices. These devices are expensive and we aim to get one for home use for each patient who would benefit from having one. We work with the patient’s insurance on getting the machine covered by insurance.
Compression bandaging or multi-layer bandaging is an essential component of Complete Decongestive Physiotherapy. Bandaging reduces swelling and helps to maintain the progress while the patient is in treatment.
Compression bandaging is often applied concurrently with Manual Lymph Drainage and time on a Pneumatic Compression pump. The bandaging maintains the reduction of fluid produced by MLD and the compression pump until the patient’s next visit by administering continuous compression.
For those of you who don’t know, lymphedema, if left untreated, often results in chronic wounds. You, or someone you know, may already be living with these wounds. We understand the pain and debilitating nature of this condition and are here to help. You are not alone.
We have an Infectious Disease and Wound Care Specialist on staff who is equipped to evaluate and treat your wounds no matter how severe. Persistent wounds are often associated with Lymphedema. Lymphedema affects the integrity of the skin often resulting in ‘weeping’ wounds. It’s crucial that these wounds are taken care of– if left untreated infections can occur leading to other health complications.
We accept and work with almost all insurance carriers to provide you with the care you deserve.
