• Benefits
of Compression Garments - Many people benefit from the regular
use of compression garments. Some individuals wear light or mild
compression styles to help alleviate tired and aching legs that
have been subjected to long periods of standing or sitting.
• Choosing
Compression Levels - Finding the correct compression is
essential in effectively managing your condition. Take a look
at the following therapy guidelines:
Health Information
• Use
of Compression - Almost everyone can stand to benefit from
compression garments. People who work long hours sitting or standing
compromise adequate blood flow to and from their lower extremities.
If you have ever felt your legs particularly tired at the end
of the day, this can be a sign that blood flow from the legs
to the heart is impaired.
• The
Signs of Vein Disease - Vein disease can start off with
mild symptoms such as tired or aching legs, the appearance of
spider veins, or swelling around the ankles at the end of the
day. While these symptoms seem harmless at first, left untreated
they can develop into serious problems.
• Lymphedema
Information - Lymphedema is swelling in a part of the body
due to impaired function of the lymphatic drainage system. Most
often this disease presents in the lower extremities, however
may present in the upper extremities, face, trunk, or external
genitalia.
• Diabetes
and Ulcer Care - Approximately 15% of diabetics in America
will develop lower-extremity ulcers. Risk factors for developing
ulcers are abnormal pressure loading caused by neuropathy, reduced
joint mobility, ischemia, and poor glycemic control.
Measuring Tips -
Some of the compression garments we carry require tape measured limb
circumferences. Stick to these guidelines to be assured the best fit
possible.
