Don Mills Health Care And Compression Stockings
Compression stockings can look fantastic and help your circulation?!?
Yes! Don Mills Health Care provides compression stockings in all different colours, patterns, lengths, with or without lace, and even with beautiful Swarovski crystals . . . and don’t worry gentlemen we have men’s dress and casual socks as well.
Our chiropodists here at Don Mills Health Care may recommend that you need to wear compression stockings if you have any of the following:
• Tired, achy legs
• Varicose or spider veins
• History of vein problems in your family
• Leg pain from standing or sitting for long hours
• Swollen ankles in the evening
• If you are pregnant
These symptoms may be a warning that you are at risk for vein disease. They are an indication that the return of blood from the legs to the heart is impaired.
Many conditions may place you at risk for vein disease including:
• Sitting or standing for long periods of time
• Lack of exercise
• Aging
• Pregnancy
• Genetic predisposition
These conditions cause the walls of the veins to become distended over time, such that the one way valves in the veins can no longer close properly. This leads to decreased circulation, swelling in the surrounding tissues, pooling of blood in the veins, and the formation of varicose veins. If left untreated, vein disease can lead to more concerning conditions such as blood clots or leg ulcers.
Compression stockings work to compress the legs just enough to decrease the diameter of the veins back to the appropriate size for the valves to work efficiently.
Compression stockings dispensed by a chiropodist or kinesiologist will:
• Increase the circulation of blood
• Reduce pain
• Relieve swelling
• Decrease fatigue in your legs
When you come in to get compression stockings at Don Mills Health Care, a professional will measure your legs in order to make sure that the stockings are specific for you!
