At Dr. Aman Rastogi Cancer Care, our Cancer Rehabilitation program is designed to help patients regain strength, function, and improve their quality of life during and after cancer treatment. Cancer and its treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, can cause physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges. Our rehabilitation services are tailored to address these challenges and support patients on their journey to recovery.
Physical Rehabilitation
Cancer treatments often lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pain, and mobility issues. Our physical rehabilitation program focuses on restoring physical function through:
- Physical therapy to improve mobility, balance, and strength.
- Occupational therapy to help patients regain independence in daily activities.
- Tailored exercise programs designed to match each patient’s abilities and recovery goals.
Lymphedema Management
Lymphedema, or swelling due to lymph node removal or radiation, is a common side effect of cancer treatment, especially in breast and gynecological cancers. We provide specialized lymphedema therapy, which includes massage and compression techniques to reduce swelling, manage discomfort, and improve lymphatic drainage.
Speech and Swallowing Therapy
For patients undergoing head and neck cancer treatments, speech and swallowing therapy is crucial for restoring speech function and improving swallowing. These therapies help reduce complications such as aspiration and support smoother recovery.
Emotional and Psychological Support
Our rehabilitation program also addresses the emotional and psychological effects of cancer. We offer counseling services for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as cognitive rehabilitation for “chemo brain,” a common cognitive side effect of chemotherapy.
Nutritional Counseling
Proper nutrition is essential for recovery. Our dietitians work closely with patients to create personalized nutrition plans that help regain strength, maintain a healthy weight, and manage treatment-related side effects like nausea or appetite loss.
At Dr. Aman Rastogi Cancer Care, our cancer rehabilitation services are personalized to meet each patient’s unique needs, helping them achieve the best possible quality of life after treatment.
