Q. What is the Balance and Hearing Center?
A. UT Medical Center’s Balance and Hearing Center offers a comprehensive approach to balance and hearing problems. It is designed to evaluate and treat patients who suffer from such things as dizziness, unsteadiness, falls or motion intolerance as well as other balance and hearing related issues.
Q. What is Lymphedema?
A. Lymphedema is the chronic swelling of a body part, usually an arm or leg. The most common cause of lymphedema in women is axillary lymph node removal, mastectomy, radiation or all three. The lymph system can be damaged by these treatments, causing lymph fluid accumulation in the affected extremity. Lymphedema may or may not occur immediately after surgery or several years later.
Q. Do I have a hearing loss? Click here for a quick quiz.
A. Most of the time, when hearing changes, it happens slowly. We don’t always realize it is happening, even though it may be changing our lives. Hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. It can be attributed to aging or an emergency such as trauma. The UT Medical Center offers a Balance and Hearing Center for your needs.
Q. How does cardiac rehabilitation work?
A. Cardiac rehab has two major components: exercise training and education/counseling. Exercise training strengthens muscles, improves stamina and teaches the participant how to exercise safely. Education/counseling provides information about heart conditions and ways to reduce the risk of future heart problems. Cardiac rehabilitation usually occurs in groups, but each participant’s plan is based on the individual’s specific risk factors and special needs.
