How Does Compression Therapy Help?

Compression therapy counters the high pressure that can develop in the legs and reduces the risk of developing vein disorders.  Compression also encourages blood flow by helping valves function more efficiently.  Specially designed gradient compression legwear reduces swelling and helps prevent pooling of fluid in the legs by delivering the highest level of compression at the ankle, while gently decreasing pressure up the leg.  Improved blood flow helps the wearer experience relief from tired, aching legs.

How to measure:

Sizing for medical compression stockings is based on the circumferences of the leg. It is best to measure early in the day before swelling occurs. Visit our store for assistance with proper product selection, measuring, and fitting. Knee high stockings require an ankle and calf circumference. Thigh high stockings require ankle, calf and thigh circumferences. Waist, maternity and chaps styles require ankle, thigh and hip circumferences.
