Lymphedema treatment
What is lymphedema?
Lymphedema, as a specific clinical entity, presents itself in a variable manner and can affect any part of the body, but in population who receive health services at home, probably, the modality most commonly found is secondary lymphedema originally from venous failure(phlebolymphedema), located in legs below the knee.However, in addition to edema for accumulation of lymph, the legs may be edematous due to another important group of clinical causes that are often treated in an erroneous and even dangerous manner, such as lymphedema, without being so. Knowing, differentiating and treating the different edema types of the legs is very important when a care plan is generated with its interventions and goals.
Infrared Laser Treatment
We use Multi Radiance Medical device, which uses three clinically proven wavelengths: 660 nm, 875 nm and 905 nm to cover the entire spectrum therapeutic window of light for deeper penetration and enhanced absorption of light. Its sophisticated software algorithm synergizes multiple wavelengths, creating a cascading effect: 660 nm absorbed by superficial tissue clears the way for infrared 875 nm to penetrate deeper and eliminate cellular interference, which allows infrared 905 nm super pulsed laser to go even deeper.
Multi Radiance Medical’s proprietary multi-source technology successfully manipulates the interaction between light, laser and magnetic energy fields to achieve the desired penetration in the target tissue area.
Compression Therapy
We offer Compression Therapy for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and lymphedema
Chronic venous insufficiency is the most common cause of lower extremity ulceration, accounting for up to 80% of the approximately 2.5 million cases of leg ulcers in the United States.
The goals of treatment in patients with chronic venous disease and lymphedema are the reduction of discomfort and pain, the reduction of the severity and extent of edema, the improvement of skin changes (eg, lipodermatosclerosis), and the healing of associated ulcers. Compression therapy remains the primary and most important treatment for these conditions. For patients with venous ulceration, the benefits of long-term compression therapy (stockings or bandages) have been repeatedly demonstrated in randomized studies. Healing rates of up to 97% can be achieved in patients with venous ulcers who are compliant with treatment. Patients with edema, active discharge, or skin changes in the absence of ulceration also benefit.
