Lymphedema treatment program Lymphedema is a condition caused by accumulation of lymphatic fluid and proteins in body tissues. It most frequently results in painful swelling of the arms and legs, although occasionally will appear in other parts of the body. The lymphatic system transports proteins, fats, bacteria and other waste materials produced by the delivery of nutrients to tissue cells in the body. The material is then transported through a vessel system to the lymph nodes, where the cells are then cleaned and filtered before returning to the bloodstream.

It is important to know that incontinence may be a symptom of serious problems, but usually it is due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. Most types of incontinence can be treated with exercise to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Stroke survivors & Care Partner Support Group The mission of the support group is to empower stroke survivors, their family and friends, to become “stroke wise” and to develop self care strategies that will increase functional quality. This group will promote healthy coping skills to live with the effects of stroke, while providing a safe, warm and caring environment which facilitates listening, learning and sharing. Monthly meetings are held the first of every month, from 2-3:30 p.m. in the Lifestyle Center. For more information, call 312-6132. Note: If the first Monday occurs on a holiday, then the group will meet the following Monday. If you have questions, please call 312-6122. Leave your name and number, and the stroke group coordinator will return your call. Chesapeake Regional’s Stroke Survivor and Care Partner Support Group utilize materials and information from the National Stroke Association (NSA).
