Use of Compression Therapy for Athletes

Athletes have turned to compression stockings to boost their performance since compression clothing is thought to minimize muscle fatigue and improve circulation, resulting in better oxygen supply.

When being fitted with compression stockings to avoid any adverse effects it’s important to see a trained professional such as a Chiropodist or Chiropractor in compression therapy to ensure proper fitting stockings

Let's Get Started!

What are Compression Stockings?

Compression stockings are a garment to apply controlled pressure to the legs. These stockings are designed to fit snugly, exerting varying degrees of pressure on the underlying tissues.

The pressure levels vary depending on the patient’s needs and help promote blood circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate discomfort.

Advantages of the Compression Therapy

Healing & Management: Encourages healing and addresses multiple health issues.
Blood Circulation: Aids in enhancing circulation, especially for conditions like varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and venous insufficiency.
Blood Flow Assistance: Helps direct blood flow back to the heart, minimizing blood clot risks and preventing swelling.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced Circulation: Improves blood flow.
Lactic Acid Management: Reduces buildup and wards off cramping.
Relief for Legs: Alleviates discomfort from prolonged standing or pregnancy.
Vein Health: Minimizes visible veins and decreases deep vein thrombosis risk.
Recovery Booster: Accelerates injury and muscle healing.

Role of Compression Therapy in Treating Venous Leg Ulcers

Compression Therapy can be an effective method to treat leg ulcers. The compression from the stockings promotes circulation in your legs, decreasing pressure and swelling. Patients with Edema (swelling produced by excess fluid) surrounding wounds, ulcers, or surgical incisions, lymphedema (collection of lymphatic fluid), and or pregnant women with leg swelling can all benefit from increased circulation and reduced swelling, aiding tissue regeneration.

Risks and Contraindications of Compression Therapy

Although compression therapy can be extremely beneficial, it is important to note the risks. The risks of compression therapy may include skin irritation. This may include itchiness and redness.

If the compression stockings are improperly fitted, this can cause rare side effects including nerve damage or decreased blood flow due to excessive pressure. Jack Nathan Rehab will determine the best fit and level of compression for your needs.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

During your appointment, your Chiropodist or Chiropractor will assess your condition and determine what type of compression therapy is right for you. Your measurements will be taken to ensure you have the correct fit. You will learn how to put the compression stockings on correctly and how long to wear them.

Conclusion

Compression stockings provide graduated pressure to the feet and legs supporting blood flow back to the heart. Compression stockings come in different compression levels to treat various venous diseases, promote healing, and help the legs from becoming tired and achy.

Our team at Jack Nathan Rehab will help determine the best fit and level of compression for your needs.
