Infos

Complementary Therapies for Lymphedema is the first comprehensive guide to 101 supportive options for lymphedema-written for both patients and the professionals who care for them. Well-researched and evidence-based, this reference explores a wide range of therapies, organized into four practical sections:

• Traditional therapies

• Bodywork therapies

• Natural health products

• High-tech devices

Each write up includes what is it?, lymphedema-research, side-effects/risks, bottom line summary and reference list. Each section recaps the information with a helpful summary chart and the end of the book includes charts that cross-reference by symptom and mechanism of action.

"User Experience" and "Anecdotal Report" callouts boxes throughout the text bring the real voices of patients and professionals into the discussion, grounding the research in lived experience.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that affects over 250 million people worldwide, including 10 million Americans and 1 million Canadians. Standard treatment with complete decongestive therapy often leaves gaps, prompting patients to ask: What else can I do?

This book answers that question. By combining objective research with practical insights, Complementary Therapies for Lymphedema gives readers the starting point to explore safe, supportive options for better management and quality of life.

A must-have resource for patients, caregivers, and health care professionals!
