Compression Therapy Techniques
Compression therapy is a proven treatment that improves circulation, reduces swelling, and creates the optimal conditions for wound healing. At Best Wound Care, our Nurse Practitioners work alongside your existing care team to deliver expert compression therapy tailored to your specific needs. We bring specialized wound care expertise directly to you at your skilled nursing facility, hospice center, or care agency.
How Compression Therapy Works
Compression therapy applies controlled pressure to the affected area, promoting better blood flow and reducing fluid buildup in tissues.
This pressure helps enhance venous circulation and reduce blood pooling in the lower extremities to:
Decrease swelling and inflammation around the wound site
Support the body's natural healing processes
Prevent complications from poor circulation
Reduce pain and discomfort associated with circulatory issues
By addressing the underlying circulatory problems, compression therapy doesn't just treat symptoms—it creates the foundation for lasting healing.
Personalized Assessment and Ongoing Care
Initial Comprehensive Evaluation
When we receive a referral from your care team or agency, our Nurse Practitioners conduct a thorough assessment to determine the most effective compression therapy approach. We evaluate your wound characteristics, circulation status, skin integrity, and overall health to create a customized treatment plan.
Advanced Compression Methods We utilize the full spectrum of compression therapy techniques, selecting the best option for your specific condition:
Venous & Arterial Ulcers – Improving circulation to promote healing in vascular wounds
Diabetic Foot Ulcers – Managing swelling and supporting healing in diabetic patients
Post-Surgical Wounds – Reducing edema and preventing complications after surgery
Pressure Injuries – Supporting circulation in immobile patients at risk for tissue breakdown
Chronic Wounds – Addressing long-standing wounds that haven't responded to conventional treatment
Lymphedema – Managing fluid buildup and reducing swelling
Traumatic Wounds – Supporting recovery from injury-related wounds
Our Nurse Practitioners assess each patient's unique situation and select the compression method that will deliver the best results.
Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment Healing is not a linear process. Our Nurse Practitioners regularly monitor your progress and adjust your compression therapy as your condition evolves. If your current approach isn't delivering the results we expect, we modify the treatment plan to optimize your healing.
Collaborative Partnership We work seamlessly with your existing care team, ensuring coordinated care that addresses all aspects of your health. Our expertise complements the excellent care you're already receiving.
