How do you treat the symptoms of vein disease?There are several options to help treat the symptoms of vein disease. A popular, non-invasive method for treating painful symptoms and stopping the progression of vein disease is compression therapy using graduated compression hosiery.

What is graduated compression hosiery?Compression hosiery gently but firmly squeezes your legs and supports the weakened vein walls. Compression hosiery prescribed to treat vein disease should be graduated, with the greatest pressure at the ankle and diminishing pressure as the stocking goes up over the calf or thigh.

My friend wears T.E.D.TM stockings. Is that graduated compression hosiery?No. Even though T.E.D.TM stockings, or anti-embolism stockings, do apply mild compression, that compression is uniform throughout the stocking. T.E.D.TM stockings are typically open-toed and generally worn by non-ambulatory individuals as a treatment for blood clots, not vein disease.

Compression Hosiery Do your legs ache, fatigue easily, or feel heavy and tight? Have you noticed varicose or spider veins, or, swelling in your ankles? If so, you may have vein problems. If left untreated, these problems could become serious, so, it is important for you to talk with your physician. If your physician does determine you have vein problems, he or she may prescribe compression therapy, a non-invasive treatment that requires you wear graduated compression hosiery.
