What Is Compression Therapy?

Relieve Leg Swelling, Heaviness, and Fatigue

Compression therapy is a conservative treatment that uses medical-grade compression stockings to support healthy blood flow in your legs. By applying graduated pressure, strongest at the ankle and gradually decreasing upward, compression stockings help veins move blood back toward the heart more efficiently. This can reduce leg swelling, heaviness, aching, and fatigue while helping prevent the worsening of vein disease. Compression therapy does not remove existing veins, but it plays an important role in symptom management.

Benefits of Compression Therapy

Compression therapy offers a simple, conservative way to manage vein-related symptoms and support everyday comfort.

When used as recommended, it provides several benefits, including:

  • Reduced leg swelling and fluid buildup
  • Relief from heaviness, aching, and fatigue
  • Improved circulation in the lower legs
  • Support for prolonged standing or sitting
  • A non-invasive option with no downtime
  • Help slow the progression of vein disease

Why Trust Dr. Aron Rovner?

Compression therapy in Bloomfield, NJ, is guided by Dr. Aron Rovner, a board-certified physician with 20+ years of clinical experience treating leg pain and mobility-limiting conditions. His background allows him to accurately determine when symptoms are vein-related and when compression is appropriate versus when minimally invasive vein treatment may be suitable. He has one goal: helping you restore comfort and return to daily activities with little to no downtime.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Compression Therapy?

You may be a good candidate for compression therapy if you experience leg swelling, heaviness, aching, cramping, or fatigue related to vein disease. It is often recommended for patients with early-stage venous insufficiency, those who stand or sit for long periods, or those looking for a conservative first step before considering minimally invasive treatment.

During your consultation, Dr. Rovner performs a detailed evaluation, which may include a physical exam and ultrasound imaging to assess blood flow. He then determines whether compression alone is appropriate for you or if a more definitive vein treatment would better address your symptoms and long-term goals.

What to Expect During Compression Therapy

During compression therapy, Dr. Rovner will recommend medical-grade compression stockings tailored to your needs. You’ll be measured to ensure the correct size and pressure level, which is essential for comfort. You must wear the stockings during the day, especially when standing or sitting for long periods, and remove them at night. Dr. Rovner will guide you on proper use, duration, and follow-up, so you can safely manage symptoms and support circulation.

How Long Should I Wear Compression Stockings?

Most patients are advised to wear compression stockings during the day and remove them at night. You’ll typically put them on in the morning before swelling develops and wear them while standing, walking, or sitting for long periods. Dr. Rovner will tailor your schedule based on your symptoms, activity, and the severity of your vein disease to ensure effectiveness.

Do Compression Stockings Cure Varicose Veins?

Compression stockings do not remove or eliminate existing varicose or spider veins. Instead, they help manage symptoms such as swelling, heaviness, aching, and fatigue while supporting healthy circulation. That’s why compression therapy is often used as a conservative option or as part of a broader treatment plan when minimally invasive vein procedures are recommended.
