Dedicated to lymphedema treatment.
The Lymphedema Institute is a specialty practice devoted entirely to lymphedema, led by certified lymphedema therapists in Texas and Oklahoma. We treat patients at our clinics, at home and in long-term care communities.
Lymphedema is underdiagnosed. We’re here to change that.
Lymphedema is widely underdiagnosed and undertreated, in part because many providers have limited training in it and patients lack access to specialized care.1 Many clinics aren’t equipped to treat it, so patients live with swelling for years without answers. We exist to close that gap.

What sets our care apart
Specialization is the difference. Every plan is built around one condition and carried out by therapists who treat it every day.
Certified lymphedema therapists
Every patient is evaluated and treated by a therapist with advanced lymphedema certification.
Complete care in one place
Evaluation, manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging, compression fitting and home-care training under one plan.
Measured progress
Limb measurements at every stage, documented and reported back to the referring physician.
Care wherever you are
At our clinics, in patients’ homes, and in assisted living and skilled nursing communities.
Two states, one standard of care
Each state is independently owned and operated, with its own clinics, therapists and referral team.
Swelling that won’t go away deserves a specialist.
