What are the treatments for lower limb thrombosis?

Lower limb thrombosis is a relatively dangerous disease, and it can also cause infarction in some of the patient's organs. Severe patients are prone to fatal dangers. Therefore, treatment measures for lower limb thrombosis are very important. Once the patient experiences lower limb pain, timely treatment is required. So, what are the treatments for lower limb thrombosis?

1. The role of physical therapy in arteriosclerosis obliterans

Physical therapy can improve the ischemic state of the affected limb, increase local blood circulation, and strengthen the compensatory function of the affected limb, thereby alleviating the ischemic pain attacks and claudication of the affected limb and achieving the purpose of delaying the progression of the disease.

(II) Physical therapy for arteriosclerosis obliterans

1. Exercise to raise the affected limb: The patient lies on his back, raises the affected limb as high as possible, and holds it for minutes, then returns to the original position. This counts as one time. It is required to do it 20 times each time, 1-3 times a day.

2. Walking: Walking every day can reduce the occurrence of claudication. The method is: before walking, first measure the walking distance and speed that causes lameness. Start with a shorter distance and slower walking speed, then gradually increase the distance and speed. If there are no contraindications, patients with intermittent claudication should walk until claudication occurs each time. 2-3 times a day.

3. Massage: Massage of the affected limb can "promote qi and blood circulation, dredge meridians", so that the local affected limb can obtain sufficient blood supply, which is beneficial to the recovery of the affected limb. Massage can also relieve pain.

(1) Massage: Use the palm of your hand or the pads of your fingers to slowly massage the affected area in straight lines back and forth. Apply even force and use light and flexible movements. Massage can be fast or slow, fast at 100-200 times per minute, slow at 30-60 times per minute. Can be operated with one or two hands.

(2) Rolling method: It can be used on the protruding part of the dorsal metacarpophalangeal joint, or on the skin above the hypothenar eminence or the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger. Apply even force during operation and roll back and forth as if it were attached to a limb. When operating, the force should penetrate deeply and avoid being superficial. It will be retracted after rolling out. It rolls back and forth like this, with a frequency of about 100 times per minute.

The above are some common treatment measures for lower limb thrombosis. Moreover, each patient’s condition is different, so the treatment methods are generally different. Generally, patients with mild lower limb thrombosis do not need drug treatment or surgical treatment. They can get rid of the thrombosis by massaging according to the above method.
