Are Compression Therapy Garments Right for You?
Since ancient times, compression therapy has been used to help heal wounds or inflammation and it is still used today! Compression therapy is well researched and has proven benefits in providing relief and preventing more serious problems. Some benefits of compression therapy include:
- Prevention of leg swelling due to working out or sitting or standing for long periods of time
- Prevention of restless legs, which can occur day or night and disrupt sleep and quality of life
- Improved workout recovery time and oxygenation
- Improved healing of leg ulcers and prevention of them
- Management of varicose or spider veins
- Management of varicose veins and other leg symptoms during pregnancy
- Improved healing of leg ulcers and prevention of them
- Prevention of venous thromboembolism in people who are immobile
- Maintenance therapy for lymphedema
- Prevention of deep vein thrombosis in the legs
- Improvement of chronic venous insufficiency (poor blood flow) and ulcer reoccurrence in older adults
Prevent Progression of Vein Disease with Compression Therapy
More than 30 million Americans likely suffer from venous disease, including varicose veins, but only 10 percent seek treatment for it. If left untreated, varicose veins can progress to become chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a more serious form of venous disease, with symptoms that can worsen over time. By diagnosing and treating varicose veins, you can halt the progression of this disease and other serious complications.
Wearing compression garments can help prevent the progression of vein disease, so check out these warning signs to watch for:
- Leg pain from prolonged sitting or standing
- Tired, heavy-feeling legs
- Swollen ankles at night
- Varicose or spider veins
- Tingling, numbness, burning or cramping in legs or feet
- Discoloration of the skin
- Open sores or ulcers on lower leg
- A family history of vein problems
