Overview
Vacuum-compression therapy is one of the most effective mechanical therapy methods for physical therapy. Automatic alternation of the vacuum and overpressure phase in a hermetically sealed application cylinder greatly influences limb blood vessels and works in the treatment of various blood circulation, metabolism and nutrition disorders - especially in complications of diabetes, polyneuropathies, leg ulcers and post-traumatic conditions associated with swelling. In post-traumatic and postoperative conditions, the rate of regeneration and recovery of tissue energy parameters is very important and has a significant effect on the overall recovery time. The advantage of the spa environment when applying this therapy is the simultaneous action of other forms of physical therapy that potentiate its effectiveness. The paper describes the procedure and course of therapy in a patient with chronic perimaleolar swelling within 28 days of comprehensive spa treatment, where the condition was significantly improved, edema was reduced and mobility improved.
