Compression Stockings for Treatment of Spider and Varicose Veins

Compression therapy means wearing socks or stockings that are specially designed to support your veins and increase circulation in your legs. The socks or stockings are normally put on in the morning upon arising, and removed at night. Throughout the day the compression they provide prevents blood from pooling in leg veins, thereby helping overall circulation.

Remember that the heart attempts to pump blood against gravity in the veins of the legs, and as a person walks, the regular contraction and relaxation of the calf muscles around the veins are necessary to help the heart move blood up the legs efficiently. But, it is unlikely that a person will walk continuously throughout the day-most of us sit or stand some of the time. Also, some people have inherited weakness of the vein walls or valves, which create additional challenges to venous circulation. This is why wearing compression socks or stockings is vital for the treatment or prevention of varicose veins and other circulatory problems, especially for individuals who are at risk.

There are several brands, sizes and styles of compression stockings. They are available in socks, knee-hi's, calf high, thigh high, full length and pantyhose. They come in a variety of colors and materials. There are different levels and strengths of compression, from the mild to heavy surgical strength.
We can determine the degree of compression that you require based on your condition. Compression stockings:

• Support distended or stretched veins

• Prevent blood from pooling in the veins

• Speed up a sluggish blood flow

• Force fluid out of swollen legs and ankles and back into circulation

• Are versatile, comfortable and attractive
