Compression stockings

Compression stockings, also known as compression socks or hosiery, are specially designed garments that apply gentle pressure to the legs and feet. The compression is graduated, strongest at the ankles and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg. This design helps improve blood circulation, providing valuable support to individuals with circulatory issues or those seeking preventive measures.

At Miracure, we recognize the importance of proper circulation for overall health. Compression stockings work by applying pressure that helps the leg veins return blood more efficiently to the heart. It can be especially beneficial for individuals with conditions such as venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or those at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Additionally, athletes and individuals who spend long hours on their feet may find compression stockings valuable in reducing fatigue and swelling.

Conditions Addressed with Compression Stockings

Compression stockings can be beneficial for managing and preventing various conditions, including:

Venous Insufficiency

Individuals with weakened vein valves that cause blood to pool in the legs may find relief through compression stockings.

Varicose Veins

Compression stockings support the veins, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent the worsening of varicose veins.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

For those at risk of blood clots, compression stockings can aid in preventing DVT by promoting healthy blood flow.

Edema

Compression stockings effectively reduce swelling, especially in the lower extremities.
