1 Comment28 January 2021

Buying compression stockings for any condition or need can be difficult, and we know how hard it can be for you to find the exact stocking you need for varicose veins. That's why we've put together this straightforward guide detailing how compression stockings can aid varicose veins as well as some popular models available on the market.

How Can Compression Stockings Help with Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins can develop when the valves in your veins do not work properly, and blood is not able to flow backwards. Compression stockings help with varicose veins by applying gentle pressure to the veins to improve circulation and reduce visible symptoms as well as pain.

What Compression Stockings Do I Need for Varicose Veins?

There are two main things you should consider when looking for compression stockings for varicose veins: compression level and style. The compression level you require will depend on the severity of your varicose veins, while the style will depend on which part of your leg is affected.

Please note that you should always consult a medical professional before purchasing a compression garment for varicose veins. This is only intended for use as a guide to products, styles and compression levels available.
