How You Can Help!

Each woman has unique needs; therefore high quality, personalized treatment plans are individually developed. Utilizing current research findings, women participate in treatment most appropriate for their needs and current stages of cancer treatment.

Turning Point Women’s Healthcare provides women with all stages of breast cancer, including after surgery, with an individualized program to:

  • Decrease pain

  • Restore arm strength and motion

  • Restore energy and endurance

  • Decrease arm swelling

  • Enhance mood and coping skills

  • Improve nutritional habits

  • Decrease the risk of recurrence through exercise, weight management and life style changes

All TurningPoint clinicians are licensed professionals that blend advanced clinical excellence and compassion in caring for our patients. Services include:

PHYSICAL THERAPY: Physical therapy includes mobilization and manipulation for joints that are stiff, painful and have lost range of motion after mastectomy, lumpectomy, radiation or reconstruction.

Lymphedema, or arm swelling, is a condition that affects many women following breast cancer treatment. Using state-of-the-art measures of lymphedema, such as  bioelectric impendence, our approach allows for early detection and monitoring of lymphedema. Through early detection and specialized treatment such as massage, compression wraps and exercise, arm swelling is reduced or controlled. Click HERE FOR MORE INFO!
