Expert Post Traumatic Oedema Treatment in London
Reduce post-injury swelling and restore normal movement with expert lymphoedema care. We offer personalised treatment for trauma-related swelling and lymphatic dysfunction at our London clinic.
What Is Post Traumatic Oedema?
After an injuryâlike a fall, surgery, or even sitting still for too longâitâs common to notice swelling in areas like your ankles, legs, or feet. This swelling, called post-traumatic oedema, happens when thereâs a long-lasting swelling in your bodyâs tissues as part of the healing process.
Most of the time, it goes away on its own. But if the swelling sticks around, gets worse, or causes pain, it could be a sign your body needs extra support. In some cases, especially when swelling becomes chronic or affects daily movement, it may be a condition known as lymphedemaâa long-term problem with your lymphatic system.
At our London clinic, we treat both post-traumatic oedema and lymphedema. Whether your swelling is from an injury, surgery, or a lymphatic issue, weâre here to help reduce the build-up, ease discomfort, and get you moving again with confidence.
What Can Our Post Traumatic Oedema Treatment Help With?
Our comprehensive treatment plan is designed to address a range of issues related to swelling and fluid retention:
- Swelling after injury: Whether from fractures, soft tissue trauma, or post-operative effects.
- Delayed swelling: Including cases where swelling occurs days after the incident due to a build-up of lymph fluid.
- Chronic oedema: A long-term or recurring condition that may lead to secondary complications like cellulitis.
- Post-cancer surgery swelling: Especially after lymph nodes are removed during breast cancer treatment or radiotherapy.
- DVT-related leg swelling: Supporting vein health and preventing further vascular issues.
- âPrimary or secondary lymphoedema: We address both congenital and acquired forms using tailored care protocols.
Our lymphoedema service includes consultations with a certified lymphoedema therapist and access to intensive treatment options when needed.
How Does Post Traumatic Oedema Treatment Work?
Our clinic offers an integrated approach combining advanced diagnostics and personalised therapies:
Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a thorough consultation to identify the underlying cause of swelling. This may involve an ultrasound scan to assess vascular or lymphatic function. If necessary, we liaise with your GP or NHS care team to support coordinated treatment.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Our trained therapists use MLD to gently stimulate lymph drainage, encouraging fluid to drain away naturally. This technique reduces swelling and supports immune health.
Compression Therapy
We apply bandaging or prescribe compression garments to prevent fluid accumulation and maintain results post-treatment. Lymphoedema bandaging can be used during intensive or daily treatment.
Self-Management Support
We educate patients in self-care routines, including elevation techniques, movement guidance, and skincareâespecially important for those managing a chronic condition.
