Pneumatic Compression Therapy

Pneumatic Compression Therapy

Pneumatic compression therapy is a non-invasive treatment method used to enhance circulation in individuals with various medical conditions, such as lymphedema, venous insufficiency, and peripheral artery disease. This therapy involves wearing inflatable garments, typically sleeves or boots, which are connected to a pump that intermittently inflates and deflates. As the garments inflate, they apply pressure to the limbs, helping to facilitate the movement of blood and lymphatic fluid back toward the heart. This process can reduce swelling, alleviate discomfort, and promote healing. Pneumatic compression therapy is often utilized as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to manage chronic conditions and improve overall vascular health.
