Compression Stockings
Compression stockings are a type of socks designed to provide support to the legs and feet. They are typically used to improve circulation and reduce swelling and fatigue in the legs.
Compression stockings are often recommended for people with varicose veins, spider veins and edema. Compression stockings come in different compression levels to support other medical conditions. These socks work against tension and pressure on the feet and ankles to enhance blood circulation. They are usually elastic and can be worn over the calf or thigh.
Good News for our clients that most of the insurance companies can cover the cost of medical compression stockings.
