Gradient compression stockings help the blood in your veins to flow in the right direction - back toward your heart. Even if your veins and valves are damaged.
Appliying a measured amount of compression to the leg is the basis for management of venous conditions.
Specially designed medical hosiery applies gradient compression to the leg. It is known as gradient compression because it is highest at the ankle and decreases up the leg. This pressure squeezes the tissue and helps the muscle pumpt to function propertly. This action helps normalize the flow of blood in the veins and improves circulation.
In other words, medical gradient compression hosiery can help relieve the typical symptoms of tired and aching legs.
Leesburg Pharmacy can provide certified fitters to assist you in selecting the correct hose for your condition and circumstances.
