Seroma formation is a postoperative complication that I personally experienced after a lumpectomy of the right breast due to breast cancer. It manifested itself as an extremely painful lump (the size of a golf ball) under my right armpit. My oncologist felt that the fluid collection would be ideally managed by repeated needle aspiration. After the invasiveness of breast surgery, I consulted Dr. Louise Paez to determine a less menacing treatment.\r

Dr. Paez recommended craniosacral therapy and physiotherapy treatment in the area of the seroma. During the gentle craniosacral treatment, I immediately felt a release of fluid build-up. Within 6 hours, the seroma reduced in size significantly. Within 14 hours it was completely gone. In the weeks ahead, Dr. Paez followed up this initial treatment with a gentle massage under the armpit and surrounding the breast to break up the scar tissue resulting from breast cancer surgery.\r

My confidence and admiration for Dr. Paez goes far beyond my initial encounters with her post surgery. She was instrumental in helping me overcome the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation through regularly scheduled chiropractic treatments coupled with personal yoga exercises to promote whole body healing and relieve the stress.\r

If you are looking for alternative care with excellence, contact Dr. Paez today. Like me, you’ll be glad you did! \r
