A member asked:
What do vascular -physicians feel about pneumatic compression therapy? benefits if any for varicose vein- reflux patients or is just for injuries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pneumatic pumps: Pneumatic pumps are primarily used to increase the venous return and to reduce edema. They do nothing to improve varicose veins or venous reflux. They do however, work well for reducing edema.
