What is Compression Therapy?
Specially designed compression garments provide gentle pressure to the legs, aiding circulation and reducing discomfort. These garments help improve circulation by promoting blood flow back to the heart. Compression therapy minimizes swelling and discomfort in the legs by reducing fluid buildup and inflammation.
Medical-grade compression stockings come in different levels of pressure, and the right type depends on the severity of your symptoms. Some individuals may benefit from mild compression, while others with more advanced vein conditions require a higher pressure. A vein specialist can help determine the best option for your specific needs.
How Compression Therapy Helps with Leg Swelling and Pain
One of the main reasons people experience swollen legs is poor circulation. Inefficient blood flow can result in fluid retention in the lower legs, causing swelling and discomfort. Compression therapy works by gently squeezing the veins, which supports proper circulation and prevents fluid buildup.
This treatment is especially beneficial for those with venous insufficiency, a condition where blood struggles to return to the heart. It can also help individuals recovering from vein-related procedures or those who spend long hours sitting or standing. Compression therapy improves circulation, reduces leg fatigue, prevents blood clots, and alleviates pain caused by poor vein function.
Who Can Benefit from Compression Therapy?
Compression therapy is helpful for a wide range of individuals, including those who experience:
- Chronic leg swelling and pain
- Varicose veins or spider veins
- Poor circulation due to aging or medical conditions
- A history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Long periods of standing or sitting, such as office workers, nurses, or frequent travelers
For individuals with chronic venous insufficiency or post-surgical swelling, compression therapy can be an essential part of their treatment plan. It is a simple yet effective way to support leg health and prevent complications from worsening.
