Wearing compression socks and stockings can be a very important tool in preventing many leg conditions including, venous insufficiency, painful, tired, achy, heavy legs and varicose veins.
They are frequently recommended for use, in pregnancy. Compression socks apply a gradient compression or pressure to your leg to help manage venous disorders. The gradient compression socks/stockings apply the highest measured pressure at the ankle and this pressure gradually decreases up the length of your stocking. This promotes blood flow in the right direction which is back towards the heart, even if your valves or veins are damaged
The results of wearing compression garments are almost immediate, and you will find yourself healthier and much more comfortable.
Compression socks differ in many ways and there are 4 classes of measured compression. A prescription from your doctor is needed for any compression garment over 20 mmHg . Most insurance companies cover compression with a prescription from a doctor.
