Compression therapy, physiotherapy and pharmacotherapy in prophylaxis, treatment and maintaining of treatment results of lower extremities venous insufficiency
Summary: The high morbidity due to venous and lymphatic disorders of the lower extremities in developed industrial countries and the large amount of mo-ney spent every year on the treatment of their complications is a challen-ge for seeking proper methods of preventing such problems. Compression therapy has been known for ages. Its effectiveness has been proved in prophylaxis, assistance of conservative and surgical treatment, and in consolidation of the therapy. Pharmacotherapy carries the same func-tions, extended to treatment of complications such as inflammatory pro-cesses, thrombosis, periphlebitis, thrombophlebitis, and embolism. On the other hand adequately applied physiotherapy augments the effective-ness of both the above methods of treatment.
