Dedication to Lymphedema Care

Who Are We

In 2013 ShechterCare® was founded and launched in Midtown Manhattan on Madison Ave in New York City. Today, our practice is proudly located in Emerson, New Jersey, where we continue our mission of providing expert, compassionate care for every patient.

At ShechterCare®, we specialize in breast cancer rehabilitation and lymphedema care, supporting patients through every stage of recovery—from pre-surgery preparation to long-term survivorship. Our focus is on preventing and treating lymphedema, restoring mobility, reducing swelling, improving fluid flow, and managing long-term symptoms. We believe that a diagnosis does not define ones life—our approach helps you heal while staying engaged in the activities and relationships that matter most, rebuilding strength and confidence along the way.

At our Emerson practice, we create a welcoming space where expert care meets genuine compassion. One-on-one therapy takes place in private treatment rooms or in our small, fully equipped gym, with every plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. Through this personalized approach, we help you regain strength, confidence, and the ability to fully embrace life.

LYMPHEDEMA

Lymphedema, the build-up of protein-rich fluid in the subcutaneous interstitial compartment occurs when either lymph fluid is impeded from flowing through the lymph vessels and lymphatic system, or when there is an excess of fluid that exceeds the carrying capacity of the lymph system. It collects in the subcutaneous and deep tissues causing swelling of the affected area and predisposes to chronic inflammation.
