Discover the Benefits of Wearing Compression Socks and Stockings

Compression socks and stockings are more than just supportive garments — they’re a proven way to improve circulation and reduce discomfort in your legs. These specially designed socks apply gentle, graduated pressure to help your blood flow more efficiently from the legs back to the heart.

The benefits of wearing compression socks and stockings include:

  • Reducing or preventing swelling in the legs and feet
  • Supporting treatment for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency
  • Aiding recovery after certain surgeries
  • Offering relief and improved circulation for individuals with heart failure
  • Helping prevent blood clots during long flights or travel

They come in a variety of sizes, compression levels, textures, and styles to suit different needs — from everyday wear to athletic performance and diabetic care. Some compression products can be purchased without a prescription, while others may require one. Many major insurance plans cover the cost depending on your coverage.
