If you suffer from a venous disorder such as edema, phlebitis, or thrombosis, compression stockings may be able to help. These stockings use a specialized elastic material that puts pressure on the limbs in order to improve circulation and increase blood flow, helping relieve a variety of conditions.
Compression stockings are made from an elastic material that is stronger than the elastic you find in other types of stockings and socks. It’s designed to compress the limbs and exert pressure on the legs, ankles, and feet. This in turn improves blood circulation and flow to the heart, allowing arterial pressure to increase.
