Compression Socks for Phlebitis

Phlebitis is the inflammation of a vein—usually in the leg—which results in redness, swelling, and pain. This condition may occur with or without a blood clot. If a blood clot causes it, we refer to this as thrombophlebitis. If you’re experiencing symptoms, consult your health care provider to ensure you receive the appropriate amount of treatment. Some cases may be worse than others and require more intensive treatment. However, common treatments include warm compresses, anti-inflammatory medication, and compression socks for phlebitis.

How Compression Therapy Helps with Phlebitis Symptoms

Reduces Swelling

The restrictive, tight nature of compression socks for phlebitis helps prevent fluids from pooling, which ultimately causes uncomfortable or painful swelling. Users will see the best results if they wear the stockings consistently to prevent their legs from retaining excess fluid throughout the day.

Improves Circulation

Phlebitis compression stockings provide gentle, consistent pressure to your feet, ankles, or legs. This steady pressure encourages blood to keep moving, which in turn reduces the amount of pooling—or clotting.

Minimizes Pain

The benefits of combining the above include reduced swelling and better circulation, which can minimize pain. You may also see an improvement in muscle or joint fatigue as circulation improves, ensuring your muscles receive proper nutrients and oxygen.

Controls Temperature

One of the most common signs of poor circulation is constantly feeling cold. Through encouraging proper circulation and having an added layer of thin fabric, compression socks are beneficial for individuals wanting help with temperature regulation.
