Support Stockings

Gradient compression support stockings are an integral component in the treatment of leg vein disease. By applying simple external compression, the stockings will not allow the veins to become as dilated thereby enabling the veins to more effectively pump blood back to the heart. In addition, by not allowing the blood to pool in the leg veins, symptoms such as leg swelling, pain, heaviness, and fatigue are reduced or eliminated.

At The Vein Center, our medical staff has been trained to custom fit each patient for the appropriate size and gradient of compression to help alleviate the symptoms associated with varicose veins. We carry a complete line of support hosiery with every compression class from over-the-counter to prescription strength support for both men and women. Though these stockings are more expensive than over-the-counter brands, they are essential in the treatment of venous disease. Most brands carry a six month manufacturer's guarantee and are a covered benefit with some insurance plans.
