You might need to try a couple of techniques to find the best method for you. What is the best way to put on compression socks?Ĭompression stockings can be challenging to put on for some people. Graduated compression stockings compress the leg, decreasing the diameter of varicose veins, supporting the calf pump, and thus preventing pooling of blood which causes swelling at the ankle level. Compression is applied after laser and sclerotherapy procedures and is strongly recommended after your treatment cycle is completed to decrease the chances of new varicosities over time. Compression should be worn when traveling especially if one has swelling.Ĭompression cannot prevent varicose and spider veins, but it can help control progression. This is especially true for those whose job entails prolonged standing- beauticians, chefs, teachers, medical providers, etc. When should I wear compression?Ĭompression should be worn if one will be up on their feet for significant periods of time.

#VELCRO COMPRESSION SOCKS NEAR ME SKIN#
Velcro compression wraps are an option if you have significant swelling especially if it involves the top of the foot or if you have advanced skin changes or an ulcer in the ankle area. This assists the pumping action of the calf muscle which, keeps blood flowing out of the legs toward the heart and decreases pooling and swelling in the lower leg.
Medical compression stockings support the weakened vein walls. Graduated compression stockings provide the greatest pressure at the ankle and decrease pressure as the stocking extends up the calf or thigh. They also have devices to facilitate putting on and taking off your compression socks & stockings. The team at Vascular Vein Centers offers medical-grade graduated compression socks and stockings, Velcro compression wraps and devices for treating vein disease and swelling.
