FAQs

Compression stockings are specially designed garments that apply gentle pressure to your legs and feet. This pressure helps to improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, and alleviate discomfort associated with various conditions such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and chronic venous insufficiency.

Here’s how they work:

1. Graduated Compression: Compression stockings are designed with graduated compression, meaning that the pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases as you move up the leg. This design encourages blood flow back to the heart, helping to prevent blood from pooling in the veins.

2. Support for Veins: By providing support to the veins, compression stockings help to maintain the structure of the veins and prevent them from stretching. This can reduce the risk of developing more serious conditions related to poor circulation.

3. Reduced Swelling: The compression helps to minimize swelling in the legs and feet, which can be particularly beneficial for those who spend long hours standing or sitting, or for individuals with certain medical conditions.

4. Enhanced Comfort: Many users report that wearing compression stockings can lead to a feeling of increased comfort and reduced fatigue in the legs, making them an excellent choice for daily wear, especially during travel or long periods of inactivity.

5. Promoting Recovery: Athletes often use compression stockings to enhance recovery after workouts. The improved circulation can help to reduce muscle soreness and speed up the healing process.
