Compression stocking therapy focuses on health problems associated with poor circulation due to either weak vein walls or vein blockages.
Compression stockings are a non-invasive treatment method.
They can help relieve pain and swelling (oedema), improve mobility, and restore lost energy associated with venous disorders. They have no adverse reactions when used in conjunction with any medication you may be taking.
Compression stockings work by applying firm, continuous graduated pressure to the veins and muscles within the leg. Complaints such as heavy, tired or restless legs, muscle cramps at night or itching are common, but some people, despite having pronounced varicose veins, have no symptoms at all.


If all degrees of severity are considered together, the number of people affected comes to well over 50%
