Compression Therapy

A treatment modality that uses controlled pressure applied to the lower extremities through specialized stockings, wraps, or pneumatic devices to improve venous blood flow, reduce swelling, and promote healing of venous ulcers and other circulatory conditions. Compression therapy is a cornerstone of treatment for chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, and venous leg ulcers. By applying graduated pressure — tightest at the ankle and decreasing upward — compression garments help push blood back toward the heart, reduce fluid accumulation in the tissues, and support damaged vein walls.
