It’s breast cancer awareness month. And we’re here to address the side effects that can occur with breast cancer treatment, including:

-swelling and lymphedema: noticeable fluid retention that can occur after surgery (with and without lymph node removal).
-discomfort and pain: this can occur both at rest and with movement.
-loss of range of motion: this tends to impact most individuals at the shoulder joint.
-axillary cording: a thick, rope-like tissue that can be painful and/or tight; most commonly found in the armpit and arm, sometimes traveling into the forearm.

Breast cancer sucks. So do these side effects. Empower Health is here to help.

Happy Physical Therapy Month!

We may be biased but our physical therapist is one of the best around 😉 Meghann’s been around the block since 2009. This girl can do it all, however, she’s got some top-notch services she certified in:

-dry needling (more than a decade of experience) 🪡
-McKenzie Method 🚶‍➡️
-Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) 🏋️
-Blood Flow Restriction training 💪
-Titleist Performance Institute Level One Certified (aka golf swing assessments) ⛳️

Her dedication to the physical therapy profession AND her clients is one-of-a-kind. Meghann takes a holistic and evidence-based approach to care. She addresses the whole person—body, mind, and movement—which is incredibly important when helping someone return to those daily and meaningful activities.

What’s the Lymphedema Treatment Act?

This came into effect in 2024 which was a monumental win for millions of Americans living with lymphedema. For years, patients—including many cancer survivors—faced massive out-of-pocket costs for the daily compression garments, wraps, and bandages required to manage chronic swelling. Because compression therapy is the absolute cornerstone of treatment, this crucial federal law stepped in to expand Medicare Part B coverage to include prescribed compression supplies. This change not only enhances quality of life and reduced risks for patients (such as infection), but it also creates a vital blueprint for private insurance companies to improve their coverage as well.

Let Empower Health help you tackle lymphedema. Contact us today at 785-269-1788 or visit our website at www.empowerhealth-ks.com.
