The Physical therapists, called PT's, and the Physical Therapist Assistants, called PTA's help injured or ill people improve their movement and manage their pain. The therapists are often an important part of the rehabilitation, treatment, and prevention of patients with chronic conditions, illnesses, or injuries. The therapists at Omnitherapy Center treat musculoskeletal injuries, involving the muscles, bones, ligaments, fascias, and tendons. It is suitable for medical conditions such as fractures, sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, chronic medical problems, and rehabilitation or recovery from orthopedic surgery.
Lymphedema or also known as Lymphatic Obstruction is swelling in one or more extremities that results from impaired flow of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of specialized vessels (lymph vessels) throughout the body whose purpose is to collect excess lymph fluid with proteins, lipids, and waste products from the tissues. This fluid is then carried to the lymph nodes, which filter waste products and contain infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. The excess fluid in the lymph vessels is eventually returned to the bloodstream. When the lymph vessels are blocked or unable to carry lymph fluid away from the tissues, localized swelling (lymphedema) is the result.
Lipedema happens when fat is distributed in an irregular way beneath the skin, usually in the buttocks and legs. Although it begins as a cosmetic concern, it can eventually cause pain and other problems. Since it is not routinely included in medical school curriculum, it is frequently misdiagnosed such as obesity or lymphedema. The symptoms of lipedema change with disease progression. At advanced stages, excessive fat accumulation, progressive lymphatic system insufficiency can produce “lipo-lymphedema”.
