Compression Stockings
Compression Stockings with graduated compression are universally recommended for both non-surgical and surgical treatment of varicose veins.
Many studies have been conducted in the use and type of compression for varicose vein
treatment. The use of compression stockings following treatment is shown to increase benefits of therapy. It is also used as a conservative measure in the management of symptoms of varicose veins. It may be beneficial to try compression stockings for symptom relief prior to treatment.
Relief of symptoms with the use of compression stockings is often relative to the size and extent of the patient’s venous problems.
Your physician will recommend the amount and type of compression that will complement your individual needs. |
