Compression Stockings

Support stockings with graduated compression are the most commonly prescribed conservative treatment. They are made of strong elastic designed to apply graduated degrees of pressure from the ankles to the hips. Support stockings help calf muscles (second heart) and prevent superficial leg veins from pooling with blood. While support stockings with compression were once unsightly and uncomfortable, popular hosiery manufacturers now make compression stockings that are attractive, comfortable, and available in a variety of colors, styles, and degrees of pressure.
