What we treat
Why LORC
01—CLT-LANA certified
Lamiaa Hefni — LORC's lead therapist — holds the CLT-LANA, the highest standard in lymphedema therapy in North America: advanced, board-certified training in manual lymph drainage, compression, and long-term management. It's the rare specialty that brings patients with cancer-related swelling to our door, and it's at the center of everything we do.
Inside the lymphedema program
02—Focused & compassionate
We're not a high-volume generalist clinic running patients between machines. Our work is centered on lymphedema, cancer-treatment recovery, and post-surgical healing, delivered with unhurried, compassionate care — and bilingual support in Arabic and English so every patient feels understood.

What our patients say
★★★★★"I was beginning to lose hope in finding someone who specializes in lipedema — until I met Lamiaa Hefni. She's a lifesaver: warm, hilarious, and incredibly knowledgeable about the inner workings of fascia and how lipedema and lymphedema manifest. The Orland Park location is clean and well-equipped. Knowing there are treatment options for managing my condition gives me a huge sense of relief."
