Compression Therapy

Compression therapy is a proven treatment that uses specialized bandages, wraps, or compression garments to improve blood flow in the legs. By applying controlled pressure, compression therapy helps reduce swelling, manage venous disease, and accelerate healing for chronic wounds and leg ulcers.

WHAT IS COMPRESSION THERAPY?

A Foundation of Effective Wound and Vein Care

Compression therapy is one of the most effective treatments for wounds caused by poor circulation and venous insufficiency. By gently squeezing the leg tissues and veins, compression therapy helps blood return to the heart more efficiently, reducing fluid buildup and improving oxygen delivery to damaged tissue.

At Palm Beach Gardens Wound Center, Dr. Orlando Cedeno, DPM utilizes advanced compression solutions to help patients manage swelling, improve circulation, and support long-term wound healing outcomes.
