Compression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that improves blood circulation, reduces swelling, and manages vein-related issues like varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). By applying pressure with specialized garments such as stockings, bandages, or pumps, it promotes blood flow and prevents complications.
What Is Compression Therapy?
Compression therapy uses garments like stockings or bandages to apply pressure, promoting blood flow and preventing pooling in veins.
Benefits of Compression Therapy
- Enhances circulation and prevents clots.
- Reduces swelling and eases pain.
- Speeds up recovery from ulcers.
- Supports post-surgical healing.
How It Works
Compression garments exert pressure to narrow veins and improve circulation. Proper fitting is essential to avoid discomfort. People with arterial disease or infections should consult a doctor before use. If numbness or pain occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
Tips for Effective Use
- Wear as prescribed, especially in the morning.
- Keep garments clean and replace them as needed.
- Combine with a healthy lifestyle for best results.
