What Are Compression Stockings?
Graduated compression stockings--also known as compression socks--improve your circulation by helping move blood from your legs back to your heart. The mechanism is simple. Compression stockings are tighter around your ankle than further up your leg, helping to push blood in your veins upward.
As a result, compression stockings can prevent leg and foot fatigue, are useful for preventing blood clots in legs and can prevent poor circulation in legs and feet. Compression stockings, for women, are particularly helpful during pregnancy.
Compression Socks: An Important Part of Varicose Vein Treatment
If you're one of the millions of people in Canada who suffer from varicose veins, compression stockings can be a valuable friend. The gentle squeeze of compression socks relieves some of the pressure in your veins that causes them to swell and become painful. That's why graduated compression stockings are a key part of most varicose vein treatment plans.
Compression socks won't cure varicose veins. But they will alleviate poor blood circulation in legs, relieve symptoms and may prevent the development of future vein problems.
Compression Stockings for Women
One in every two women in Canada will eventually develop varicose veins. Other vascular problems, like blood clots and poor circulation in legs and feet, are increasingly common. During pregnancy, many women need extra support to prevent achy, tired legs and future circulation problems.
Dell's selection of custom and ready-to-wear compression stockings for women allows you to step out in style and comfort.
