Making a Powerful impact at St. James Parish Hospital
Comprehensive Care for Lymphedema
At St. James Parish Hospital, our dedicated Lymphedema Therapy program focuses on delivering exceptional results for patients managing this condition. Led by Denise, a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, our approach ensures a holistic and effective treatment experience.
What is Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)?
This specialized approach addresses four key components—skin care, manual lymphatic drainage, compression, and exercise—to help patients reduce and manage their edema more effectively. By combining these elements, CDT offers patients the most comprehensive and effective care possible.
