Support compression stockings are made available in multiple compression support levels. Most commonly compression support stockings come in mild (8-15 mmHg), Medium (15-20 mmHg), Firm (20-30 mmHg), X-Firm (30-40 mmHg) gradient compression levels.

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.

    I have had a few vein surgeries for venous reflux as well as two knee replacements, which all require me to have to wear compression thigh highs or greater for weeks on end. I saw these and tried them out, I can wear them in public like regular leggings and they work great. I am tall (5’10) and have not had any issues with them staying up/in place. They are high waisted and almost like wearing some of the Spanx clothing but with the true compression in all the right places. I would buy more if they offered these in other colors.

    Compression alternative which means you can wear them as your clothing and not as a layer. They are cute too, have small ribbing in the fabric.

    Only comes in black.

    Hooray for surgical grade compression leggings! Thank you Sigvaris . I’ve been wearing these since they became available last May. The support is great. The wide waistband is comfortable and stays in place without rolling. The slightly textured fabric is nice, though I would like the option of a smooth finish. There is room for improvement however. Though they fit well, these leggings do not stay up well during the day. They require frequent adjusting , Hiking them up, often feeling uncomfortable. Also the stitching in the crotch is not holding well at all. This area should be reinforced and perhaps have an additional layer of fabric. Yes I have recommended these leggings to friends.
