Lymphedema causes swelling due to a buildup of lymphatic fluid and often occurs after surgery, cancer treatment, injury, or infection. Without proper care, swelling can worsen and affect mobility, comfort, and daily activities. Specialized physical therapy can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

At Alton Physical Therapy, our certified lymphedema therapists provide personalized treatment plans that may include:
✔️ Manual lymphatic drainage
✔️ Compression therapy and garment education
✔️ Gentle therapeutic exercises
✔️ Skin care education to reduce infection risk
✔️ Long-term self-management strategies

Our goal is to reduce swelling, improve function, and help patients feel more confident managing their condition.

📍 Lymphedema therapy is available at our Jerseyville and Litchfield, IL locations only.

If you experience sudden dizziness or a spinning sensation when rolling over in bed, looking up, or bending down, you may be dealing with BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo). BPPV occurs when tiny calcium crystals in the inner ear move out of place, disrupting your balance.
The good news? Physical therapy can help.

At Alton Physical Therapy, our trained therapists can evaluate your symptoms and use specific repositioning techniques to:
✔️ Reduce or eliminate dizziness
✔️ Improve balance and stability
✔️ Decrease fall risk
✔️ Help you safely return to daily activities
✔️ Provide education to manage symptoms

Treatment is often quick, non-invasive, and highly effective — helping many patients feel relief in just a few visits.
