Medical Compression Stockings for Better Blood Flow

Medical compression stockings facilitates venous and lymphatic blood flow in lower limbs. In simplest terms, it is designed to apply a controlled amount of pressure to the ankle which is greatest at the ankle of the stockings and gradually decreases towards the top. This gradient pressure promotes better venous blood flow which in turn helps to control swelling, varicosities, leg fatigue and other problematic leg conditions.

What conditions can be treated using compression stockings?

There are certain conditions that would be greatly helped by compression stockings. These conditions are as follows:

Tired, aching, fatigue legs
Swollen feet, ankles, and legs
Moderate to severe varicose veins
