Discover the effectiveness of compression stockings as a non-invasive remedy for addressing varicose veins, particularly in the initial stages of chronic venous conditions. Learn how these stockings can provide relief from discomfort, reduce swelling, and enhance circulation for varicose vein patients at our San Diego clinic.


Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our vein specialist will perform a non-invasive ultrasound vein mapping to assess your deep and superficial blood flow, identifying the precise areas of venous insufficiency.
Compression stockings are not one-size-fits-all. Our clinical team will take precise measurements of your legs, including your ankle, calf, and thigh circumferences, to determine your exact size. We will also prescribe the appropriate medical-grade compression level, either 20-30 mmHg or 30-40 mmHg, based on your specific condition.
Discover effective techniques for easily putting on and taking off your stockings. Wearing them consistently throughout the day will help reduce leg swelling, fatigue, and throbbing. We will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your long-term vascular care plan as needed.




The cost of compression stockings can vary based on factors like brand, type, and compression level. Generally, they range from $20 to $100 or more. Insurance may cover some or all of the cost with a prescription.
Medicare may cover compression stockings if prescribed by a doctor to treat a specific medical condition, like chronic venous insufficiency or varicose veins. Coverage depends on your specific plan.
Consult with a healthcare professional or vein specialist to determine the appropriate compression level and size. Proper fitting is crucial for effectiveness.
Wear them daily as directed by your doctor. Put them on in the morning when swelling is minimal. Remove them at night or as recommended.
The duration varies depending on your condition. Some wear them daily, while others use them during specific activities or for travel. Follow your doctor’s guidance.
Compression socks can provide some relief for spider veins by improving blood circulation. However, they are more commonly used for varicose veins. Consult a vein specialist for personalized advice.

“My experience here at iThrive was really, really good. The staff here was great. I came in for some swelling that I was having, and I’m coming out without having any swelling at all.”

“I was feeling a lot of pain, a lot of redness on my legs, throbbing, heat, and they were heavy before, and now I just love the amazing results that I’ve had from all these treatments.”

“I inherited varicose veins in my legs, which I began to struggle with in my 20s. I finally found Dr. Damani, who performed Varithena treatment and significantly improved my circulation.”

“My vein issue is much better now. There’s no heaviness in my leg anymore; it feels lighter and smaller. My legs get a bit tight in those areas, and it’s really an awesome experience.”

“I had a couple of procedures where my veins were injected, and now the bulging is gone. I didn’t experience much heaviness in my legs, but I do feel like they are lighter now. I’m very happy with the results.”

“I experienced significant pain and swelling in my legs. It was becoming quite severe for me. Now, I feel unbelievable – it’s amazing! I have no pain and no swelling. I highly recommend iThriveVeins.”




I recently did vein treatment with the iThrive clinic and everything went really well. I was afraid to do it because of pain and recovery, but in reality the treatment was almost painless and recovery goes very well.
I had a Varithena treatment recently and I’m very happy with the results. My veins look so much better and I no longer feel the heaviness and discomfort I used to have. The procedure was quick. I highly recommend it.
My experience was great, everyone was so helpful and explained all that I needed to know about the procedure and what to expect. I’m so happy that I am finally able to get my veins taken care of. The staff are amazing.
The treatment went smooth and I immediately felt my legs lighter and improved. I recommend it also because everyone was professional and provided gentle care to my legs which I was very sensitive to touch.
Excellent service, everyone who works here is very friendly, the procedures are quick and painless, they have helped me a lot to feel better about my legs, Dr. Kyle is very experienced in what he does.
Went in for severe redness and swelling in both legs. After several varithema procedures my legs are much better. Dr. Damini was great and the staff was very efficient, helpful and friendly.
