HomeCare of Holland Home provides new service for patients with edema

HomeCare of Holland Home is now offering Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), a gentle, non-invasive treatment for chronic edema. CDT is appropriate for patients with primary lymphedema or secondary lymphedema as a result of surgery, cancer, radiation treatments, chemotherapy, infection, obesity, chronic venous insufficiency or trauma. Treatment may include manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy and exercise therapy. All treatments are performed by a certified lymphedema therapist.

While there is no cure for lymphedema, treatment can significantly reduce troublesome symptoms and decrease the risk of further complications.

HomeCare of Holland Home can also offer skilled nursing, certified home health aides, occupational therapy and social workers to help with long-range planning.

“The results were impressive. The treatments made tremendous improvements.”  —A client’s physician.
