Understand Compression Stockings

At our esteemed podiatry clinic in Toronto, we believe in not just treating symptoms but also educating our patients about their conditions. Understanding your needs is the first step towards optimal foot health. This ethos includes our approach to support hose, also known as compression stockings – a valuable solution for many issues related to foot and leg health.

What Are the Causes?

Various health conditions may necessitate the use of compression stockings. Varicosities, or bulging veins caused by venous insufficiency or venous reflux, can lead to leg discomfort and visible vascular lesions such as telangiectasia, broken blood vessels, and spider angioma.

Medical issues such as intermittent claudication, a symptom of peripheral artery disease where you experience leg pain while walking due to arterial insufficiency, can benefit from graduated compression stockings. Similarly, painful fat syndrome, or adiposis dolorosa, a condition characterized by swollen legs due to lipo hypertrophy and other subcutaneous adipose tissue disorders, can be effectively managed with medical socks.

Benefits Of Compression Stockings

The benefits of compression stockings are manifold. The graduated pressure they apply promotes blood flow, which reduces swelling and pain and lowers the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. These therapeutic stockings can also alleviate the symptoms of anti-embolism, support arterial sufficiency, and decrease the discomfort caused by exercise-induced leg pain.

In addition, compression stockings can also support the management of swollen legs due to adiposis dolorosa and help in the control of diabetic foot related complications by enhancing foot health and comfort.
