Compression Stocking Fitting

What do compression stockings do?

The pressure these stockings put on the legs helps the blood vessels work better. The arteries that take oxygen-rich blood to the muscles can relax, so blood flows freely. The veins get a boost pushing blood back to the heart.

Compression Stockings can keep legs from getting tired and achy. They can also ease swelling in the feet and ankles and help prevent and treat spider and varicose veins. They may even stop you from feeling light-headed or dizzy when you stand up.

Because the blood keeps moving, it's harder to pool in the veins and make a clot. If one forms and breaks free, it can travel with the blood and get stuck somewhere dangerous, like the lungs. Clots also make it harder for blood to flow around them, and that can cause swelling, discolored skin, and other problems.

Some athletes, including runners, basketball players, and triathletes, wear compression socks and sleeves on their legs and arms. The theory is that, during activity, better blood flow will help get oxygen to their muscles, and the support will help prevent tissue damage. And afterward, the beefed-up blood and lymph circulation will help their muscles recover quickly. They won't be as sore, and they won't cramp as much.

Indeed, the application of compression stockings would seem to be relatively cut and dry: Take leg measurements, use the manufacturer’s guidelines for determining the level of compression, choose a style, and hand it over to the patient.

But not all diabetic patients are created equal, nor are compression stockings. Patients at one end of the spectrum may benefit from support pantyhose for light pressure to prevent or reduce mild swelling. This condition is uncomfortable and can delay wound healing in diabetic patients. At the other end are those who suffer from significant edema or venous leg ulcers are candidates for prescription-strength compression stockings. And then, there are patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Considerations when prescribing compression hosiery include proper diagnosis, accurate measurements, and, of course, patient compliance.
