Course overview
Lipedema is becoming increasingly recognized throughout the medical community, yet little information is provided on the disease through current lymphatic certification programs. This continuing education session will provide you with in-depth information on Lipedema, how to stage and type Lipedema, co-morbidities and differential diagnosis related to lipedema and emerging diagnostic tools for Lipedema. Youll explore surgical interventions and how it impacts swelling. Collaboratively evaluate the most current research on conservative treatment strategies therapists can utilize for both surgical and nonsurgical patients. Plus, examine how Lipedema impacts not only lymphatics but also its impact on psychosocial and nutritional implications.
