We Carry Compression Stockings at Our Clarenville Clinic
If you have varicose veins or spider veins or have just had surgery, your doctor may prescribe compression stockings. Wearing compression stockings will improve the blood flow in your legs by gently squeezing them to move blood upwards. This helps prevent leg swelling and, to a lesser extent, blood clots. At Therapy Works, we sell a variety of compression stockings in Clarenville that will meet your specific needs.
Wearing stockings can help to:
- Reduce the aching and heavy feeling in your legs
- Reduce the swelling in your legs
- Prevent blood clots, especially after surgery or after an injury when you are less active
Types of Compression Stockings
Talk to your doctor about what kind of compression stockings are right for you. Many types exist: they come in different pressures (from light pressure to strong pressure), lengths (from knee-high to the top of the thigh) and colours.
Buying Compression Stockings
- Call your health insurance or prescription plan and find out if they pay for compression stockings.
- Get a prescription from your doctor.
- Make an appointment to get measured
- Wearing Compression Stockings
Wear your compression stockings all day. Your compression stockings should feel strong around your legs. You will feel the most pressure around your ankles and less pressure higher up your legs.
THERAFIRM® gradient compression hosiery delivers a controlled amount of pressure greatest at the ankle and gradually decreases towards the top of the stocking to promote better blood flow and assist in preventing swelling. THERAFIRM® is made entirely in the USA in the brand’s own manufacturing facilities.
