Lymphedema causes debilitating swelling of the arms, legs, head, or torso.
Much like diabetes or high blood pressure, there is no cure for this condition,
but there is hope.
Casa Colina's Lymphedema Management Program helps individuals with lymphedema
control their symptoms over the long term, allowing them to regain limb
control and resume everyday activities.
To participate in this program, patients must have stable cardiac and renal
functions and must be fully committed to managing their condition. All
treatment is provided by certified lymphedema therapists, many with advanced
competency in head and neck cancers.
This program is recommended if you have Primary or Secondary Lymphedema due to:
Milroy's disease
Meige disease
Late-onset lymphedema
Surgery that involved the lymph nodes/vessels
Cancer cells or tumors near the lymph nodes/vessels
Infection or injury of the lymph nodes/vessels
Venous stasis
Patients in our Lymphedema Management Program benefit from a treatment
plan that follows the highest standards of care.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Compression bandaging and garments
Compression pump as needed
Skin care
K-taping as needed
Patient and caregiver education
Through treatment, you'll gain a better understanding of lymphedema, which
will in turn lead to improved limb function and a healthier quality of life.
