COMPRESSION SOCKS & STOCKINGS

If your job requires you to be on your feet for hours on end, or you have a medical condition that affects the blood circulation in your legs, you may wonder if compression socks might be a solution.

Compression socks, which are made from synthetic materials, are tighter than regular socks. They apply controlled pressure to improve blood flow in the veins of the leg.

Our medical-grade compression stockings are “graduated” meaning they are tightest at the ankles, with the compression gradually easing up the legs. This gently squeezes the legs to move blood to the upper body to be pumped back to the heart. That can help keep blood flowing properly so it doesn’t pool in the legs, which can prevent a number of issues. One is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition marked by a weakening of the veins and valves that causes such symptoms as swelling, aching, itching, tingling, and cramping in the legs, as well as pain that worsens when standing.

Choosing the right compression socks/stockings can be overwhelming. You may wonder, “which strength do I need?”, “which length do I need?” (knee high, thigh high, or pantyhose), or even style.
