Blood in your veins must work against gravity to flow back to the heart. Anything that impedes that flow—such as circulation problems, lack of movement (especially after an injury or surgery), or weakness in the walls of the veins of the legs (referred to as venous insufficiency)—results in blood pooling in the veins of the lower legs or feet, leading to leg swelling, aching, and leg fatigue; it could also predispose you to a venous clot.

If you have a medical condition, talk with your physician about whether you might benefit from compression garments and what type might be best for you. If you’re healthy and want to try using them because of a long flight, a job that requires lots of standing, or another non-medical reason, you can experiment to see what’s most comfortable and works best for you, starting with a low compression level.

Cancer sucks! If it’s determined that a mastectomy procedure must be completed, dealing with the fear and concern leading up to a mastectomy can be overwhelming. Alcam offers post-mastectomy items, such as breast forms, mastectomy bras, and post-op camisoles to help you feel complete again and regain your confidence after an experience such as this one.

Alcam’s Amputation Care Program provides patients and families with access to the type of clinical expertise and personalized care that they would expect from a nationally recognized program. We know recovery after an amputation is a process. Evidence shows with our Amputation Care Program healing can be expedited, ambulation can begin earlier, and edema can be controlled in most cases. Here are some of the other benefits of the program.

Adapting to life after a lower limb amputation can be challenging. Alcam specializes in lower extremity prosthetics and our goal is to help you create a new possibility for yourself. We partner with you as well as your family and physician to create the best prosthesis for your lifestyle.

We provide prosthetic care for every level of lower extremity amputation including but not limited to the following:

• Trans-metatarsal
• Ankle disarticulation
• Below the knee
• Above the knee
• Hip disarticulation

Alcam’s upper extremity Prosthetist specializes in every level of amputation from a partial finger to a shoulder disarticulation. We are a leader in the industry of upper extremity prosthetics. We recommend speaking to one of our Prosthetists when you find out amputation is a possibility or immediately after an amputation surgery. Our upper extremity team will provide you and your family with the resources needed to adapt to your new life.

During the initial evaluation, your Prosthetist will explain the process from casting your limb to the delivery of your prosthesis. You and your Prosthetist will collaborate and choose the best prosthetic design for your lifestyle. Research shows people who receive an upper extremity prosthesis shortly after amputation return to work faster and have better success than those who wait to receive prosthetic care.
