How do I get compression Products?
First Time Trying Compression?
Compression stockings can benefit people of all ages in any condition. In addition to benefiting people who are pregnant or have conditions affecting their circulation, they are also very beneficial for people who sit or stand for prolonged periods: When your legs are stationary for an extended period of time (i.e.: during prolonged sitting or standing), or if you have circulation issues, the veins can’t push hard enough and blood begins to pool in the veins of your feet and lower legs instead of recirculating throughout your body.
What to do when you start having first signs of a venous disease or after you have been diagnosed? Just follow our three steps to get a compression product that best fits your needs.
Non-Prescription Compression
You can also buy compression stockings without a prescription (although a prescription is highly recommended).
Compression stockings (15-20 mmHg) are often worn for well-being purposes. So, even if you do not have a predisposition or any complaints, compression socks and stockings can be worn if you feel comfortable in them. They improve circulation, alleviate symptoms such as heavy legs, and can improve the overall quality of your life. If this is the case, head to Step 2
