At CherriCare we want our customers to know as much information as possible about medical compression therapy. Medical compression therapy applies a type of elastic device on limbs or other body parts to exert controlled pressure on them. Thereby, the device squeezes the vein walls together and improves the circulatory rate. Medical compression also helps with the reduction of edema and recreates conditions beneficial for the healing of chronic inflammatory disorders.
What is Medical Compression Therapy?
Medical compression therapy consists of applying a type of elastic device, mainly on the limbs, to exert controlled pressure on them. By compressing the limbs or other body regions, the medical compression device squeezes the vein walls together, thereby improving overall circulation and supporting blood flow back towards the heart.
In addition, it helps to reduce swelling and formation of edema in edematous tissues by reducing the capillary leakage into the tissue and supports the lymphatic drainage of interstitial fluid. Medical compression provides significant relief of leg aching, pain, the feeling of swelling and heaviness, and other venous and lymphatic symptoms.
Different Materials, Forms, & Styles Available
To be effective, medical compression devices should be worn every day.
