How to Choose the Best Compression Stockings

If you’re not prescribed and recommended stockings directly from your doctor or medical professional, then it becomes much more important to know how to pick the best compression stockings for you.

The first thing to consider:

The amount of graduated compression you require in your stocking. For the uninitiated, the graduated compression in a sock determines how much pressure, or compression, will applied when your wear the sock. It is important you try to get in the ideal range for you.

The best way to determine which range is right for you is to consult with your doctor. But, if not, analyze the severity of your varicose veins. If the swelling and pain is severe coupled with bulgier veins than I would recommend going with 25-30+ mmHg range. This is ideal for moderate to extreme cases.

If the varicose veins are smaller in size, I would check out mild to moderate levels of compression stockings in the 10-25 mmHg range. Click here to know more about #best compression stockings for varicose veins.
