The benefits of Compression Therapy are plentiful and the reasons vary from person to person why you may choose to wear compression socks or stockings. As shown in the above chart, some of the most prevalent symptoms or conditions that benefit from compression therapy are:

  • Pregnancy related swelling and vein problems
  • Varicose or spider veins
  • Lymphedema or edema
  • Swelling, pain or blood clots in the lower legs, also known as DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
  • Poor circulation from sitting for long periods
  • Post-surgical and post-sclerotherapy treatment

It can even be used as a preventive measure to maintain healthy legs for someone who spends extensive amounts of time on their feet. Quite simply, when we stand still for long periods, the forces of gravity increase the pressure within the veins of the legs where the greater effects happen at the ankle and decreases gradually up the leg and body. This pressure depends on the vertical distance of the column of blood from the heart to the foot. That's why gradient compression stockings are designed with the pressure greatest at the ankle and diminishing as it moves up the leg in order to counter the effects of the higher venous pressures.

Compression therapy products are put on in the morning upon arising, which is typically before any significant swelling would occur, and then removed at night. Throughout the day the compression prevents blood from pooling in leg veins, which in turn helps your overall circulation and lessens or eliminates any leg swelling you may have.

When shopping for compression socks or stockings, it is best to measure earlier in the day before swelling builds in the legs. Measurements taken later in the day after swelling occurs may cause you to choose an item that is too large and then not effective.

There are many types of compression socks and stockings available without a prescription and they do offer wide-ranging benefits. Before wearing a compression therapy of 20 mmHg (Firm Compression) and above, it is generally recommended to consult your health care provider to find out if graduated compression stockings are right for you. If the answer is yes, they can tell you what pressure grade you should buy for maximum benefit and relief.

    These socks provide good support. I need to wear a suppotive sock on one leg, as I had a blood clot several years ago.

    I had to get used to how snug the 15-20mm are, but after a few time putting them on and off it is not a problem. I thought they would be too hot, but that's not the case since they are on the thin side. I'm pleased with them and will be ordering more.

    last purchase of Jobst Knee High stockings. 3 people found this helpful
    Overall

    Fit

    Overall my Jobst stocking has been good. However on my last purchase of two pair, one pair had a hole in the toe about the size of a small pinhead and the upper stock already had a worn out look, like and older pair that I had. I called Discount Surgical and she told me there is nothing she can do which for as many years that I have ordered from them, I felt was not customer friendly. So I am just wearing them.

    I first purchased Jobst Knee High Medium Support at a specialty store in a Boston suburb. (Cost was nearly $12 over online price). I have also tried other, less expensive brands but find there to be no comparison to Jobst. Very comfortable! Relatively easy (for a 76 year old) to get on and off. I can leave them on all day (about 14 hours) without feeling the need to get them off. And most importantly they do the job of keeping my feet and ankles from swelling.
