Compression Stockings For Varicose Veins

Often recommended as the first treatment for varicose veins, compression stockings are highly effective for preventing blood from pooling in veins and for relieving any pain and/or swelling in the legs.

• Compression stockings after varicose vein treatment: Patients who have had surgery or other treatments for their varicose veins will need to wear compression stockings afterward to prevent the veins from developing again.
• Compression stockings for varicose vein prevention: For people who are at an increased risk of developing varicose veins, compression stockings may prevent the condition from arising.

At Glenmore Landing Vein Clinic, we are able to provide our patients with top quality varicose vein compression stockings at affordable prices to keep you healthy and pain-free.

How to Put On Compression Stockings

Patients often have trouble putting on compression stockings, but if you know the right techniques, it is a simple process.

Here are 5 tips to follow:

1. Put your compression stockings on in the morning, as this is when your legs have the least amount of swelling.
2. Ensure your legs and feet are dry. You can use baby powder or talcum powder to reduce friction.
3. Using donning or rubber gloves can make it easier and faster to pull the stocking up your leg. This will also prevent snagging or tears in the stocking.
4. It’s important to check that the fabric is evenly distributed over the leg, with no wrinkles. Make sure to centre the heel of the sock properly.
5. NEVER fold the band at the top of the stocking as this will constrict leg circulation.

If your toes start to tingle while you are wearing your compression stockings, you should remove them immediately and contact your doctor or vein specialist. Never cut or modify the stocking fabric as this will alter the compression.
