Compression Stockings

DrTodds.com carries high quality compression hosiery from Bell-Horn, a family owned orthopedics company in business since 1842. Commonly, compression socks and stockings are used to manage swelling or may also by a prescribed to treat other conditions. Swollen legs, ankles and/or feet, also known as edema, may be caused from injury, venous insufficiency, medications, heart problems or other reasons. Prolonged swelling or painful swelling of the foot or leg should not be ignored and your physician should always be consulted. Mild swelling is often managed with compression stockings that provide less than 20mmHg of compression. Moderate or severe swelling may require support stockings that deliver higher compression and your physician should be consulted before ordering.
