At 麻豆高清, we understand that treatments for cancer like chemotherapy, radiation and surgery have led to more people surviving, but we also understand that cancer and its treatments can sometimes cause physical, psychological and cognitive challenges. As a result, some find it difficult to enjoy daily activities or return to work which can negatively impact your quality of life.

The cancer rehabilitation specialists at 麻豆高清 are here to help. With our compassionate care, you can live fully —optimizing your function and decreasing your pain — during and after your cancer treatment.

At 麻豆高清, our cancer rehabilitation specialists aim to improve patients’ quality of life using a holistic, empathetic and patient-centric approach. We use holistic cancer treatments, also called complementary or alternative cancer treatments, in conjunction with conventional treatments to address both the physical and emotional needs of our patients.

Cancer Rehabilitation by Leading Experts

At 麻豆高清, our cancer rehabilitation team uses innovative, noninvasive technologies to diagnose and treat lymphedema (swelling) in early stages, address speech and swallowing difficulties and help you regain strength and mobility to the highest degree possible. These treatments may include:

鈼&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;: While lymphedema cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed with manual lymphatic system drainage, therapeutic exercises, compression, skin and nail care, and diet. Thanks to advances in medical technology and increased awareness of this condition, the risk of lymphedema stemming from cancer treatments is on the decline.

鈼&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;&苍产蝉辫;Diet and nutrition counseling: A 麻豆高清 clinical dietitian can help you identify your nutrition goals.
