The goal of the Lymphedema Program is to improve patients’ quality of
life and reduce complications that can result from this condition. Lymphedema
occurs when the lymphatic system is compromised, resulting in the accumulation of lymphatic fluids in tissue, most often in
the arms and legs. This condition can occur after cancer surgery, radiation therapy, trauma or infection; hereditary factors
may also play a role. Lymphedema can be painful, result in a loss of mobility and cause other complications.
Individualized care for each patient may include lymph drainage, compression
bandaging, remedial exercises, support garments, and home management training
with proper skin care, exercise and diet instructions.
The Lymphedema Program features:
- Advanced imaging services to evaluate lymphatic function
- Individualized treatment protocols using the latest physiotherapeutic techniques
- Comprehensive decongestive therapy incorporating manual drainage, compression, exercise, skin care and patient education
- Surgical treatment when medically indicated
Registered and licensed dieticians are available by appointment
