Advance-Therapy Concepts in Sunrise is offering free Lymphedema screenings.

Lymphedema, known as lumphatic obstruction, is caused by a malfunctioning lymphatic system that holds too much fluid. This could become an uncontrolled infection in the affected limb.

While Lymphedema isn't recognized as a serious health problem, this is slowly changing due to education and awareness.

Advanced Therapy Concepts, 2035 N. University Drive, offers the screenings Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to noon.

Call 954-616-1670 to make an appointment.
