Lifestyle
Compression Stockings
for Varicose Veins
Wearing graduated compression stockings (Class 1 or 2) daily to reduce leg swelling, aching and slow progression of varicose veins.
How it works
External graduated pressure supports vein walls, improves venous return to the heart and reduces blood pooling in lower leg veins.
What to watch for
Must be properly fitted — incorrect compression can worsen circulation. See a pharmacist or nurse for fitting. Not suitable if arterial circulation is compromised.
