Prolonged sitting and constrained movements from travelling or an office job can cause the development of deep vein thrombosis which is the formation of blood clots. In severe cases, thrombosis can result in a pulmonary embolism. At risk patients have similar symptoms to achy legs, swollen ankles, and spider or varicose veins. Pregnancy also increases the chances of varicose vein formation. An effective way to increase leg and foot comfort during these times is by wearing graduated compression stockings. Compression stockings prevent swelling in the legs and reduce the chance of getting deep vein thrombosis. Compression therapy is the application of external pressure, reducing inflammation and increasing blood flow towards the heart. The cost of the compression stocking can be covered under your extended medical insurance.
