Lymphoedema Service

We are a Trustwide Service with out-patient clinics running at Lisburn Primary Community Care Centre, Bangor Community Hospital, and Ballymote Centre, Downpatrick

We treat oncology and non-oncology related lymphoedema which can be defined as chronic swelling of the affected body part often causing discomfort, heaviness, decreased range of movement, loss of function and skin changes.

Our treatments include advice, skin-care, exercise, use of compression and specific massage techniques.
