What does medical-grade compression mean when it comes to compression therapy? 🩺
Just like you wouldn't substitute a lower dose of prescribed medication, you shouldn't substitute medical-grade compression with over-the-counter alternatives.
The difference? Graduated compression levels (15-20, 20-30, 30-40 mmHg) that provide therapeutic benefits your body needs. Over-the-counter compression might feel similar, but it lacks the precise pressure gradients that make medical compression effective.
Your lymphatic system deserves the real deal. When your doctor prescribes compression therapy, make sure you're getting the therapeutic benefits you need.
