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.

Amazingly supportive and comfortable. They feel expensive! My cardiologist was checking out my legs to see if they were swollen and said "what brand socks- they feel wonderful!".

I've been wearing the Sigvaris 232 Cotton style for years and I thought I'd give these a try. The pluses are, no toe seam, very soft feel to the sock, breath well, attractive styling and easy on/off. When I compared the final fit to the style 232 Cotton it seemed to me that these socks didn't "compress" quite as well as the 232 Cotton (I wear a 20mm to 30mm compression). I called Sigvaris and they said the compression in both socks were the same. So I wore each pair on 2 different days to compare. Although the Sea Island cotton did definitely compress my calves there was a sight difference in my calf size when I removed the sock at the end of the day. The Cotton 232 seem to "compress" a bit more as my calves appeared a bit smaller after wearing. Not a lot but slightly.
The 222 Sea Island Cottons are good socks but I'm back to the 232 Cotton.

This is a competitive company that offers excellent pricing for their products. Service is prompt. Merchandise is exactly as advertised. I purchased 2 pair of Sigvaris Sea Island Cotton Knee High compression socks from them. Would definitely buy from them again and have no hesitation in recommending this company to my friends who use compression socks.

I can't say enough about these socks; I buy them repeatedly because I haven't found anything to compare to the overall feel. My Cardiologist was checking my legs at my last visit and said "wow, what kind of socks are those"!
