- Compression therapy to reduce swelling and discomfort
- Lifestyle and inflammation management
- Ongoing support and monitoring
- Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a great option to support lymphatic flow and relaxation, we support this treatment option and recommend therapist who specialize in it in Toronto, but we do not offer MLD at Care-Med
