Oncology Rehabilitation for Bile Duct Cancer
Bile duct cancer and its treatment can affect your physical functioning and overall energy. The oncology rehabilitation team at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) helps you build strength and endurance, regain independence, reduce stress and maintain energy throughout your bile duct cancer treatment.
The oncology rehabilitation team at CTCA includes licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists.
Physical Therapy
As part of your bile duct cancer oncology rehabilitation program, our physical therapists can help you design an individualized exercise program that combines range-of-motion training with light resistance exercises to minimize your fatigue and optimize your physical function.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists can help you with daily living activities that are important to your routine and quality of life, such as dressing, showering and eating.
Speech and Language Pathology
Many bile duct cancer patients who receive chemotherapy benefit from speech and language pathology. Therapists address problems such as dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, loss of voice and cognitive changes that can result from cancer treatment.
Manual Therapy
Our massage therapists can help reduce cancer-related pain and improve your quality of life during your bile duct cancer treatment.
Auriculotherapy
This painless, non-invasive treatment, which involves stimulation of the auricle of the external ear, can help alleviate some of the side effects of cancer treatments, such as pain, nausea or fatigue.
