Compression stockings are the perfect choice for individuals experiencing varicose veins, blood clotting, or blood pooling in their legs. Compression stockings are quick and easy to use and are very effective in reducing tissue swelling, spider veins, blood pooling, and reduced blood flow to the legs.

In addition, you can have stockings that are professionally fitted to your legs. There are many dedicated practices that will work for you and solely specialize in varicose veins. Schulman Vein’s Exceptional Practice in Long Island New York offers varicose vein treatment options that are right for you.

Why Treat Varicose Veins With Stockings?

Compression stockings are a non-invasive and hassle free way to treat varicose veins. In addition ,they are easy to use and can be tailor made to your legs. Many patients report better circulation in their legs within hours after using compression stockings.

Compression stockings work by being more tight near the ankle and foot so that it encourages blood to flow back up to the heart, and discourage blood pooling and clotting near the bottoms of the legs. Compression stockings are the perfect choice for individuals who can’t exercise regularly but still need a method to prevent blood pooling and clotting in their legs.

When Compression Stockings Are Not Enough

Compression stockings have come a long way; today’s patterns and colors are endless, but compression stockings have their limit. In some cases compression stockings won’t be enough to treat varicose veins and blood pooling in the legs and extremities. Although compression stockings can help, often patients will need extra treatment in the form of laser surgery to reduce varicose veins or spider veins.

Other Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Varicose veins can also be treated with laser surgery. Laser surgery for varicose veins is painless and does not require anesthesia. The procedure is simple. It consists of shutting the veins that are improperly diverting blood back down to the leg instead of back to the heart so that there is a proper blood flow. Once the veins are treated, patients report much better blood flow and their legs experience better oxygenation. The procedure typically takes about an hour and a half.

Various other treatment options are available as well. Injection treatment in the form of medication solutions can be injected into the dysfunctional veins, causing the veins to scar and close shut on themselves. The process is painless and quick and is preferable for patients who need to be out the door that same day, or who might not be suitable candidates for surgery.

Foam treatment for varicose veins is similar to injection treatment. In this procedure, an injection of a medicinal foam solution is used to spread the solution more evenly throughout the unhealthy vein to quickly get it to shut.
