Friday talks: Compression types! Off the shelf vs custom. Circular knit compression is great for preventative type swelling and Stage I lymphedema. Custom compression is what we recommend to patients with diagnosed lymphedema and Lipedema. Flat knit custom compression works like a retaining wall, preventing water from returning to the tissue space, while circular knit tends to squeeze fluid out of the tissue space. If you have diagnosed swelling issues, you need custom flat knit.

Do you think you fit into these categories? Ever wondered why you never lose weight in your legs despite a healthy diet and vigorous exercise? Lipedema is more common than previously thought, and comes with interesting comorbidities. Did you know 30-50% of women with Lipedema have a venous disease? Did you know women with Lipedema can develop Lipolymphedema? If you have questions, contact our office!

Proof that early intervention is KEY! I saw this patient two weeks after her mastectomy surgery. She still had sutures and some minor drainage. We performed MLD to the adjacent regional sites and once the scar was formed, scar management including cold laser therapy! This patient also had lymph nodes removed, and guess what? She doesn’t have to wear a sleeve all the time. We manage her as needed, which is amazing! The earlier we can treat, the better the outcome. Super proud of this one! 🩷

Amazing difference after JUST ONE WRAP. One bandaging session is all it took to get this level of improvement. A few more sessions, and a referral to and this patient will be good to go!

Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is an umbrella term that encompasses several components. Unless all of these are being incorporated into your lymphatic routine, it isn’t truly CDT. While some people can get away with just MLD, you really can’t just take one piece of the pie. Without all components, many home programs fall apart and patients experience swelling again. Additionally, you shouldn’t be in active treatment for “years”. CDT takes 4-6 weeks for an arm, 6-8 for legs. While this is a standard and certainly not true for some, most of your journey with lymphedema should include good home management. Come in and speak with us to learn how to develop a tailored home program you can actually stick to!

Did someone say Orthopedics? Fun today with our RianCorp laser and this 4 week old Total Knee Replacement. Laser work to this knee will help improve circulation, increase lymphangiomotoricity, decrease fibrotic tissue build up and decrease the overall healing time. Many people find swelling as a complication of knee replacement surgery, and we are here to help!

Another progress picture from week 1 to week 4 of Complete Decongestive Therapy! Even though this case was complicated with heavy fibrosis, hyperpigmentation, and hyperkeratosis, the L leg is still experiencing reduction and a decrease in those progressive skin changes! Great work!
