Compression garments, especially compression stockings, are commonly used to treat varicose veins. They apply gentle pressure to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and relieve discomfort. The pressure is greatest at the ankle and decreases up the leg, encouraging blood to flow toward the heart and preventing it from pooling in the veins.
Benefits:
Improved Circulation: Supports blood flow, reducing blood pooling.
Reduced Swelling: Helps prevent fluid buildup.
Pain Relief: Alleviates aching and heaviness in the legs.
Prevents Further Damage: Helps prevent worsening of varicose veins.
