Cotton O’Neil Outpatient Lymphedema Program
Cancer surgery or treatments sometimes damage the bodily function responsible for draining excess fluid. This issue raises the risk of lymphedema, a progressive, lifelong disease involving damaging swelling of an extremity or limb.
Cotton O’Neil Outpatient Therapy’s three-phase Lymphedema Program teaches you how to manage your condition through diligent treatments and patient education from our trained therapists specializing in Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT).
Phase 1: Evaluation
During this one-hour appointment, you and your provider will:
- Discuss your diagnosis and offer educational resources about your condition.
- Explain how we work as a team to treat symptoms and what you can do to manage your condition.
- Determine if CDT is appropriate for you and outline your next steps.
Phase 2: Follow-Up
Follow-up treatments typically start one week after your initial evaluation. During this phase, you’ll attend daily treatments five times per week for two to four weeks. During each one-hour visit, you’ll receive:
- Ongoing education about your diagnosis and treatment
- Information about proper skincare
- Exercises to promote lymph drainage
- Manual lymphatic drainage and compression wraps and instructions for proper application
Phase 3: Maintenance
After your therapist determines you no longer require daily treatments, we’ll measure you for daily-use compression garments. These garments break up fibrotic tissue, promoting drainage and reducing swelling.
Until you receive your compression garment, you will attend three to five weekly therapy sessions for continued compression wrapping. Once you return your garment, we will discharge you from therapy.
