Lymphedema Therapy of Alaska
Specialized Clinical Focus

Oncology Rehabilitation

Evidence-based, deeply compassionate lymphatic care for patients navigating post-radiation fibrosis and lymph node removal.

Breast Cancer & Lymphedema

Treatments that save a life—like lumpectomies, mastectomies, axillary lymph node dissection, and radiation—frequently damage the fragile lymphatic system. When this system is compromised, protein-rich lymphatic fluid backs up, causing uncomfortable, heavy swelling in the arm, hand, or breast. This condition is secondary Lymphedema.

Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)

We utilize the clinical gold-standard four pillars of CDT to manage your oncology swelling:

  1. Precise Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
  2. Advanced, custom medical compression garments
  3. Decongestive exercise mapping
  4. Specialized skin care protocols

Early Clinical Baseline

If you have an upcoming breast cancer surgery or radiation treatment scheduled, it is highly recommended to schedule a baseline measurement with a Certified Lymphedema Therapist *before* your surgery.

Establishing this baseline allows us to track even the smallest fractional changes in your limb volume post-surgery, catching Lymphedema in its absolute earliest, most manageable stage.
