Compression wraps are therapeutic devices used for the treatment of sprains or other minor injuries. They work to promote a faster recovery after an injury and reduce further damage to the affected area. The most common type of compression wrap is an elastic type bandage that provides pressure to a specific area of the body that has suffered an injury or is inflamed. No longer only used for first aid, compression wraps are a popular form of treatment for sports injuries, various therapies for the treatment of venous diseases and to reduce swelling in the arms and legs caused by Lymphedema to promote at-home healing and recovery.
Benefits of Compression Wraps Compression wraps apply pressure to areas of the body where there is swelling, increasing the blood flow to the affected area thereby reducing the swelling. Compression wraps are also a great treatment for stretching out the walls of veins, reducing areas where blood flow has stopped, and drastically improves circulation on the parts of the body where the compression wrap is applied.
