Stockings and Compression Therapy
What is Compression Therapy?
Compression therapy is a widely used treatment that involves wearing compression stockings or garments to promote healthy blood flow and reduce swelling. It is a non-invasive and cost-effective method for managing various conditions and improving circulation in the lower extremities.

Compression therapy offers a multitude of benefits for individuals experiencing a range of conditions, including:
- Reduced swelling and edema

- Prevention of blood clots
- Enhanced healing after surgical procedures

Effectiveness of Compression Therapy
Research and clinical evidence consistently demonstrate the effectiveness of compression therapy in managing various conditions. Compression stockings exert pressure on the legs, enhancing blood circulation, and reducing swelling.
Studies have shown that wearing compression stockings regularly can significantly decrease the risk of developing complications associated with poor circulation, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous ulcers. They are also instrumental in the management of chronic conditions like lymphedema and venous insufficiency.
Conditions That Can Benefit from Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Varicose veins: Compression stockings can provide relief by reducing symptoms like pain, swelling, and fatigue.
- Edema: Compression therapy helps in reducing fluid retention and swelling caused by conditions like pregnancy, heart failure, or kidney disease.
- Thrombosis and embolism prevention: Compression stockings are proven to reduce the risk of blood clots, particularly in individuals with a history of thrombosis or who are immobile for extended periods.
- Lymphedema: Compression garments help manage swelling and improve lymphatic circulation, providing relief for individuals with lymphedema.
