What Are Compression Stockings?
Compression stockings are specially designed garments that apply graduated pressure to your legs and feet, enhancing circulation and alleviating discomfort. These stockings are often recommended for various medical conditions, such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and edema, as well as for general leg health. By promoting better blood flow, they help reduce swelling and fatigue, making them a valuable support tool for those who spend long hours on their feet or have specific circulatory concerns.
