how do compression stockings work to help my legs be healthier?
” Compression therapy is the application of external pressure to the legs to reduce the venous pressure. External pressure to the limb reduces the lymph fluids also known as edema in the legs. The reduction of edema by the application of compression therapy can bring the limb to a dry state. Compression therapy works by helping restore the blood flow to normal velocity by preventing the decrease in blood flow velocity. Furthermore, compression therapy helps reduce and prevent edema which is a condition in which swelling occurs due to the excessive accumulation of watery fluids in the cells. Compression therapy helps the veins perform the important role of transporting the blood back to the heart by alleviating some of the venous pressure. Compression stockings are a special garment medically designed to apply compression therapy and help you keep your legs healthy. Ongoing maintenance with compression therapy and compression stockings can help you obtain healthier legs.
