The benefits of Compression Therapy are plentiful and the reasons vary from person to person why you may choose to wear compression socks or stockings. As shown in the above chart, some of the most prevalent symptoms or conditions that benefit from compression therapy are:
Pregnancy related swelling and vein problems
Varicose or spider veins
Lymphedema or edema
Swelling, pain or blood clots in the lower legs, also known as DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
Poor circulation from sitting for long periods
Post-surgical and post-sclerotherapy treatment
It can even be used as a preventive measure to maintain healthy legs for someone who spends extensive amounts of time on their feet. Quite simply, when we stand still for long periods, the forces of gravity increase the pressure within the veins of the legs where the greater effects happen at the ankle and decreases gradually up the leg and body. This pressure depends on the vertical distance of the column of blood from the heart to the foot. That's why gradient compression stockings are designed with the pressure greatest at the ankle and diminishing as it moves up the leg in order to counter the effects of the higher venous pressures.
Compression therapy products are put on in the morning upon arising, which is typically before any significant swelling would occur, and then removed at night. Throughout the day the compression prevents blood from pooling in leg veins, which in turn helps your overall circulation and lessens or eliminates any leg swelling you may have.
When shopping for compression socks or stockings, it is best to measure earlier in the day before swelling builds in the legs. Measurements taken later in the day after swelling occurs may cause you to choose an item that is too large and then not effective.
There are many types of compression socks and stockings available without a prescription and they do offer wide-ranging benefits. Before wearing a compression therapy of 20 mmHg (Firm Compression) and above, it is generally recommended to consult your health care provider to find out if graduated compression stockings are right for you. If the answer is yes, they can tell you what pressure grade you should buy for maximum benefit and relief.

was nervous about ordering online, as these are not cheap. so glad I took the chance. my cousin has been using these for years and recommended that I try them, as they have several different measurements to ensure you get the correct fit. after trying one pair, i will definitely order more.

I had been getting by with the Jobst Relief--economical knee high compression hose. I had trouble wearing open toe as my foot is so skinny the hose slid up. So I was wearing closed toed for about a year. Now I have hammertoe in 1-2 toes -thanks to closed toed compression stockings :( I also had trouble with the Jobst rolling down at the top since I was not buying silicone band ones.
The Mediven are just perfect. They were a little tight the first week or two but the foot doesn't slip up and the band doesn't roll. They are more than twice the cost but worth it since they fit properly.

Have been using Medi compression stockings for over 20 years, and have always been completely satisfied with this product. These are the only brand I purchase, as they work best for me. Very durable and long lasting.
