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.
