Lymphedema is a condition in which improper fluid drainage from the lymphatic system leads to a build up of lymph fluid and severe swelling in the extremities. This can closely mimic venous obstruction or heart failure.
Once lymphedema begins, it is unlikely that it will go away. However, symptoms and disease progression can be slowed and controlled through medical treatment, lifestyle changes, and management at home. Painless swelling of the affected extremity often requires compression sleeves or manual medical massage to control the edema.
Compression stockings offer a cost-effective and efficient method to enhance blood circulation in the lower extremities. With daily use, compression stockings can alleviate symptoms, enhance blood flow, and reduce the likelihood of blood clots forming. These stockings are suitable for both short-term and long-term use, as well as post-surgery recovery.
Pneumatic compression devices use inflatable sleeves or wraps for the limbs and a connected pump to inflate and deflate them in cycles. Essentially acting like a massage, the device stimulates healthy movement of blood in your body to help prevent blood clots from forming.
