Why Compression Therapy?

Compression therapy provides you with the necessary support to maintain and enhance your lifestyle.

Whether it's being engaged in daily activities or spending time doing the things you really love, like traveling, being outdoors or participating in your favorite hobbies, you can continue to engage in daily activities while receiving the therapeutic benefits of compression.

How Compression Therapy Stockings Work

Compression stockings are designed to provide support to the legs and veins, assist with circulation and minimize swelling. The compression is graduated, with the strongest support starting at the ankles and gradually decreasing towards the top of the garment. This gradual support works in conjunction with the pumping action of the calf muscles, which also assist with circulation.
A common myth is that compression stockings will cut off circulation. When fitted and worn properly, compression stockings help with your circulation, not reduce or restrict it.
Compression garments are categorized by classes. Theses classes consist of compression ranges, which are measured in mm Hg---meaning millimeters of mercury, the universal form of measurement used for this type of garment. These are designed medical indications for each compression class.

Will I Feel Comfortable Wearing Compression Therapy Garments In Public?

Today's compression stockings are very fashionable - most of them look just like regular hosiery or dress socks. No one will know the difference! There are garments in various styles and colors.

Are Compression Therapy Garments Comfortable?

Compression stockings compliment your legs naturally and beautifully. In fact, additions of fabric technology adds softness and comfort, leaving your legs feeling energized all day long!

How Should I Wear My Compression Stockings?

In general, graduated compression stockings should only be worn during the day while you are upright and mobile, and should be taken off and washed at night. Consult your primary care provider for specific instructions.

If you need to wear your garment every day, you may want to consider purchasing a second and third pair so you always have one pair while the other is being washed.

Travel / Deep Vein Thrombosis

 

Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevention

Are you a frequent traveler? Flying long distances? If so, you should know about Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot that forms in the “deep” larger veins, usually in the legs. If the clot dislodges from the vein wall and becomes mobile, it will move through the venous system, and eventually, could block a vein of the heart, brain or lungs.

Who is at Risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis?

At risk are people who fly, sit or stand for long periods of time. Other contributing factors are: smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, being overweight, recent surgery or diagnosed vein disease.

How Can I Tell if I Have Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Unfortunately, Deep Vein Thrombosis is a difficult condition to detect, and is often symptomless. If symptoms occur, they may include intense pain or cramping in the calves, tenderness, swelling, warmth or changes in skin color.

Using Compression Therapy

An effective way to keep your legs healthy during air travel is wearing graduated compression stocking. Compression stockings and socks exert a comfortable pressure on the outside of the leg to support the veins and vein valves. If you think you are at risk for a DVT, consult your primary care provider.
