- It Can Prevent Blood From Pooling in the Legs
Many seniors and patients dealing with serious illnesses have to sit or lie down for long periods, causing blood and blood flow to accumulate in the legs, increasing the risk of hypertension and chronic pain. Compression stockings can help improve blood circulation across the body and prevent blood from pooling in the leg veins.

Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the legs or thighs. Compression stockings can help address this by pushing fluid up the leg, allowing blood to flow freely from the legs to the heart.
