Varicose veins can become a painful condition characterized by aching, swelling, fatigue and cramping in the lower legs prohibiting doing things you once enjoyed.
Please Take Note. It’s always good to get a full vascular evaluation or see a vein specialist to determine the precise reason behind leg swelling and accompanying symptoms.
The GOOD NEWS is Compression Stockings have been around a long time and used by many vascular and cardiac physicians for poor circulation.
Wearing Compression Stockings improves the blood flow in your legs by gently squeezing your legs to move blood up your legs. You feel the most pressure or tightness at the foot and around your ankles and less pressure / compression up your legs. That’s why their called graduated compression stockings. This type of compression helps to fight the effects of gravity and assist the body in venous return (de-oxygenated blood flow back to the heart). Keeping oxygenated blood flowing in the blood vessels and muscles of our legs helps reduce the pain, itching, burning and aching of the lower legs. You can take your everyday Life Back!
