About Us

THE COLORADO LYMPHATIC RESEARCH CENTER

We opened our doors in 2007 to assist our community with issues relating to Lymphedema. When we were introduced to the LymphStar-Pro there was no definitive research on the effectiveness of the treatment of lymphedema using the machine. We have now conducted several studies using volunteers with lymphedema as well as other conditions. We are very excited with the results and will continue with volunteer and patients referred to us in the future. We now recommend the use of the LymphStar-Pro as part of a comprehensive treatment for lymphedema.
