Description

Compression stockings can be worn to improve circulation, for added comfort, better range of motion, improved function, sports therapy, and to help prevent other serious medical conditions from occurring or worsening. Compression stockings work to improve your blood flow, lessening pain and swelling. They can also help to lower the chance of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other circulation problems. Compression stockings are uniquely made, snug-fitting, stretchy sock-like stockings that gently squeeze an area of your body to provide healing and pain relief. The pressure of the stockings helps blood vessels work better. The arteries that take oxygen-rich blood to your muscles can relax, so blood can flow more freely. As the blood is able to move freely, it is less likely that blood will pool or clot in the veins. Why Choose Progressive Rehab?
