Can Compression Socks Help with Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that appear just under the skin, often causing discomfort, swelling, and heaviness in the legs. If you're wondering whether compression socks can help, the answer is yes!

How Compression Socks Help with Varicose Veins

Compression socks apply graduated pressure to your legs, promoting blood flow and reducing the pooling of blood in the veins. This helps:

• Reduce swelling and discomfort
• Improve circulation by encouraging blood to return to the heart
• Prevent worsening of varicose veins and reduce symptoms like aching and fatigue
• Support vein health and lower the risk of complications like blood clots

Choosing the Right Compression Level

• 15-20 mmHg: Light compression for mild symptoms
• 20-30 mmHg: Moderate compression, ideal for daily relief
• 30-40 mmHg: Medical-grade compression for severe varicose veins (consult your doctor)

When to Wear Compression Socks

• During the day while standing or sitting for long periods
• While traveling to prevent swelling and discomfort
• After varicose vein treatments to support recovery

Compression socks are a simple and effective way to manage varicose veins, improve leg comfort, and support overall vein health. Explore high-quality options at TierOne Compression for optimal relief!
