Compression therapy is a method of treating any diseases of the veins of the lower extremities: chronic vein diseases (varicose veins, post-thrombotic disease), chronic venous insufficiency and phlebopathies.
Compression therapy is based on an increase in interstitial pressure in the lower extremities, due to this, venous outflow is stimulated, defective venous valves work, venous reflux is eliminated, venous blood flow velocity increases, blood viscosity decreases, reabsorption of interstitial fluid is accelerated, which reduces swelling and improves tissue nutrition . Such treatment eliminates pain and heaviness in the legs, cramps, trophic disorders.
