Graduated compression stockings can help prevent the occurence of _______________ and guard against further progression of venous disorders. Compression stockings exert a specific pressure against your legs which reduces the diameter of the distended veins. This reduction in size causes an increase in venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness. As a result pain and swelling are reduced.

Conditions of the Leg

Tired Aching Legs occurs when the flood flow slows down in the legs.

Mild Ankle / Foot Swelling occurs when blood and or tissue fluid pool in the legs and feet.

Varicose Veins / Spider Veins (mild varicosities) are vessels that have progressed to a secondary condition of chronic venous insufficiency due to vein wall weakness or a malfunctioning valve.

Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when blood flow decreases (especially in the lower extremities) causing blood to pool in the legs and leading to a blood clot formation.

Lymphedema is when a body part swells due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid, occurring when there is interference with the normal drainage of lymph fluid back into the blood.

Plebititis is an inflammation and clotting in a vein, most often a leg vein, due to infection, inflammation, or trauma.

Economy Class Syndrome is a more common name for Deep Vein Thrombosis when linked with air travel, especially during long flights.
