Prescription Compression Stockings

Compression stockings help improve circulation in the legs and are frequently recommended to individuals who suffer from varicose veins.

In addition to their medical attributes of supporting circulation, athletes use them as well because they help prevent soreness and muscle cramping.

In fact, history states that the Roman soldiers used leather straps to wrap their legs prior to long marches in an effort to support circulation.

Of course modern day compression stockings are designed with much more complexity, available in varying types of materials, styles and elasticity strengths.

Whenever the body is in a single position for an extended period of time, whether, sitting or standing, the blood flow in the legs can become constricted due to gravity.

How Compression Stockings Work

Compression stockings are constructed of elastic materials that vary in strength depending on their use.

Their design is such that the fit of the stockings determines the amount of consistent pressure against the legs, ankles and feet.

This pressure helps increase the upward flow of blood towards the heart and the occurrence of painful swelling is usually lessened.

Varying Types of Compression Stockings

Compression stockings are available in both non-prescription and prescription styles.

Research indicates that they help provide relief from varicose veins and poor circulation.

In addition to being used by athletes, they are often recommended during pregnancy to prevent swelling in the lower extremities.

Additionally, individuals who are on their feet for extended periods of time or who sit at a desk for multiple hours per day benefit from using compression stockings.

Doctors often prescribe the use of compression stockings to people suffering from varicose veins or after surgery to support healthier blood circulation and for the prevention of blood clots.

The prescription compression stockings typically offer the most compression, so making sure they fit properly is extremely important.
