Compression stockings for varicose veins are specialized elastic garments designed to enhance blood circulation and alleviate symptoms associated with varicose veins and related conditions. These stockings come in varying compression levels, which help improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and provide support for individuals with venous issues.
Don't wait to treat varicose veins
Left untreated, venous insufficiency can lead to skin changes, ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis. Early treatment yields the best outcomes.

Compression stockings may be right for you if:

You experience daily leg swelling, heaviness, or discomfort.
You have visible spider veins or early varicose veins.
You spend long periods sitting or standing at work.
You want a non-invasive way to improve blood circulation.

How it works

How Compression stockings for varicose veins works

From first consultation to full recovery, here's exactly what to expect

Consultation & vein mapping

01

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.

30 min consultation
Tip: Bring your insurance card and a list of current medications.

Custom fitting & selection

02

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.

Daily wear & ongoing care

03

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.

Benefits of Compression stockings for varicose veins

Benefits of Compression stocking for varicose veins
Medical-grade compression stockings are a highly effective, non-invasive treatment option designed to counteract venous insufficiency and keep your legs feeling healthy and energized.

Promotes healthy blood flow

Graduated stockings apply the tightest pressure at the ankle, helping veins push blood upward toward the heart and preventing pooling.

Reduces pain and heaviness

Consistent wear significantly alleviates the daily discomfort, throbbing, and deep, heavy aches commonly associated with early-stage varicose veins.

Minimizes leg swelling

Compression therapy helps prevent fluid from leaking from weak blood vessels into surrounding tissues, reducing painful swelling and fluid retention in the ankles and calves.

Halts disease progression

Wearing your prescribed stockings daily helps manage venous pressure, reducing the long-term risk of developing skin changes, painful ulcers, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

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.
