Lymphedema is a condition that causes swelling in the arms, legs, or other parts of the body due to a buildup of lymphatic fluid. This condition can be addressed with different treatments, including exercise, massage and custom orthotic insoles. For people with lymphedema, finding the right pair of shoes can be a challenge. The wrong shoes can make swelling worse and cause discomfort. The right shoes can provide necessary support and comfort to reduce swelling and improve mobility.
When people look for shoes to help with lymphedema symptoms, there are certain qualities that should be focused on. Shoes designed with comfort and support in mind can be the most effective for managing lymphedema.
Best shoe qualities for people with lymphedema
Shoes with all these qualities can benefit you in managing lymphedema. However, they can be less effective than treatments targeted to the specific needs of your feet. Consider custom orthotics for a footwear solution designed to provide support where you need it.
