Compression Therapy

Compression therapy is a medical treatment that uses pressure to support blood flow and reduce swelling in affected areas, often used for conditions like varicose veins, lymphedema, or after surgery. It typically involves wearing specially designed garments, such as stockings or bandages, that apply gentle pressure on the limbs. This helps improve circulation, limits fluid buildup, and can relieve pain and discomfort. By encouraging blood return to the heart and preventing stagnation, compression therapy aims to promote healing and improve overall comfort for individuals with specific health issues related to circulation.
