What Are Some Of The Benefits Of Wearing Compression Stockings?
Because properly fitted compression stockings encourage healthy blood and fluid flow in the legs, wearers report reduced swelling in the lower legs or ankles, they experience less “heaviness” and even after a long day, legs feel energized.
Athletes have adopted compression socks as part of their conditioning. Compression socks support muscle recovery and increase oxygen delivery to muscles during a workout.
Can Compression Socks Treat My Varicose Veins?
Compression socks can be an important aspect of conservative care for varicosities in the leg. Since compression socks encourage blood flow, they can assist weakened valves in the leg vein to carry blood more efficiently.
For some vein procedures, wearing a compression stocking/sock for a period after treatment helps support healing in the leg.
How Do I Select The Right Grade Of Compression?
Depending on your condition, you will want to make sure that you purchase the highest quality stocking with the right graduated compression to improve your circulation. You also want to make sure that the stocking is comfortable enough to wear during your typical activities. Therefore we always measure each patient and fit compression socks/stockings to that individual.

Getting recommendations from vein care experts means buying the right socks for you the first time. Also, some people will need very specific styles of compression stockings as part of their recovery from vein procedures.
Primary Care vs Vein Specialist
Primary care physician possesses a broad knowledge base that covers a range of ailments and diseases. While they can diagnose vein disease correctly, they may not have the same level of expertise in this specific area.
Therefore, if you suspect that you may be suffering from vein disease, it is often more prudent to seek the guidance of a vein treatment specialist directly. By doing so, you increase the chances of receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment without the risk of being misdiagnosed or experiencing delayed care. Ultimately, a vein treatment specialist's specialized focus and expertise make them the ideal choice for addressing vein diseases comprehensively and effectively.
