Compression Stockings Services in Heartland – Mississauga
At Curezone Physiotherapy in Heartland – Mississauga, our compression stocking program helps patients manage conditions related to poor circulation, venous insufficiency, or swelling in the legs. Compression stockings apply controlled pressure to the legs, improving blood flow, reducing edema, and supporting overall vein health.
Our team provides personalized assessments to determine the correct compression level, stocking length, and fit for each patient. This ensures maximum effectiveness while maintaining comfort throughout daily activities or work.
How Compression Stockings Work
Compression stockings work by:
- Applying graduated pressure to the legs, with the highest compression at the ankles and decreasing toward the thighs
- Supporting veins to improve blood return to the heart
- Reducing swelling, heaviness, and fatigue in the legs
- Preventing blood pooling and reducing the risk of varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Properly fitted compression stockings can also enhance mobility, making it easier to remain active and comfortable throughout the day.
