Women & Infants’ Program in Women’s Oncology offers a Lymphedema Clinic. This comprehensive approach to lymphedema management can reduce the build-up of lymphatic fluid in the arms and legs. This clinic focuses on prevention, treatment, and maintenance of lymphedema.
The most effective treatment is manual lymphatic drainage therapy. This technique is used to open the lymphatic system to help drain the affected limbs. Our lymphedema therapists have advanced training and have been certified to use a combination of specific treatments, called complete decongestive therapy (CDT). This includes:
Now offering Sozo, the world’s most advanced, noninvasive bioimpedance device aids in the assessment of lymphedema to deliver a precise snapshot of fluid status and tissue composition in less than 30 seconds. A single SOZO reading allows clinicians across multiple specialties to provide individualized, proactive care that can help improve patient outcomes.
