Description of Treatment:

Vasopneumatic compression therapy is a non-invasive treatment method that employs a device comprising inflatable sleeves or cuffs. These cuffs alternately inflate and deflate sequentially in a controlled manner, facilitating the movement of blood and lymphatic fluid. 

 

Benefits of Treatment:

• Alleviates pain in affected areas
• Diminishes swelling and fluid retention in the affected limbs
• Mitigates inflammation and enhances lymphatic drainage
• Enhances circulation, aiding in the elimination of lactic acid
• Expedites recovery and recuperation after intense exertion

 

Risks and Potential Side Effects:

Although vasopneumatic compression therapy is generally regarded as safe, it’s important to be mindful of potential risks and side effects, including but not limited to:

• Skin Irritation or Redness: Some individuals may experience skin irritation or redness with extended use of compression pants.
• Allergic Reactions: There is a possibility of allergic reactions to materials used in the compression pants.
• Discomfort or Difficulty in Wearing: Prolonged wear of compression pants may cause discomfort or difficulty for some individuals.
