Compression Therapy

Compression therapy is a treatment that uses pressure to reduce swelling and improve blood circulation. It can help with a variety of conditions, including chronic venous disease, lymphedema, and varicose veins.  

• Compression therapy can be applied using bandages, stockings, or inflatable devices. 
• The pressure should be firm but even. 
• The degree of compression depends on the condition being treated and the patient's other health factors. 

 Compression therapy can:

• Reduce pain and swelling
• Help heal ulcers and wounds
• Prevent deep vein thrombosis
• Improve blood circulation
• Reduce venous reflux and venous hypertension
• Have an anti-inflammatory effect
• Improve tissue repair in wounds
