Edema
Reducing Swelling and Restoring Comfort
Specialized Care for Foot and Ankle Edema
Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid buildup in the tissues. In the feet and ankles, it can result from standing for long periods, pregnancy, injuries, certain medications, or underlying conditions such as vein or heart problems. Symptoms often include puffiness, tightness, skin changes, and discomfort when walking or wearing shoes. Left untreated, edema may lead to skin breakdown or increase the risk of infection.
Our specialists provide a detailed evaluation to identify the cause of your swelling and develop a personalized care plan. Treatment options may include compression therapy, custom orthotics to improve circulation, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted exercises to help reduce fluid retention. When necessary, we coordinate with your primary care provider or specialists to address underlying health conditions contributing to the swelling.
Our goal is to relieve your discomfort, improve circulation, and help you maintain healthy, pain-free feet and ankles. With timely diagnosis and ongoing care, most patients experience noticeable improvement and a reduced risk of future complications.
