Treating And Managing Ganglion Cysts

Compression Socks

Ganglion cysts (and other types of cysts) can be treated noninvasively with compression socks, which may be purchased over the counter. Trauma to the joints and muscles can be minimized by the use of compression, especially with prolonged standing or walking. The constant use of compression when standing lessens the chances of new cysts forming and maximizes blood flow to the muscles and joints. The compression element is part of the ever-popular RICE treatment, which stands for rest, ice (packs), compression (socks), and elevation. Following treatment protocol like this can greatly help in treating conditions like ganglion cysts, even shortening recovery time.
