Under Pressure: Medical Compression Therapy
Compression socks are an excellent therapy to increase blood flow and improve circulation. At Werkman, Boven & Associates, we carry Sigvaris Compression therapy and have certified compression fitters in the clinic.
“Medical compression therapy involves applying a type of elastic device, mainly on the limbs, to exert controlled pressure on them. By compressing the limbs or other body regions, the medical compression device squeezes the vein walls together, improving overall circulation and supporting blood flow back towards the heart.”[1]
Compression garments are often viewed as obscenely medical and worn explicitly by a select portion of the population. Sigvaris has squashed this stigma with so many great styles and patterns from which you can choose. Our clinic has staff members who wear the products and would be happy to show you our fun designs!
View a selection of the styles below. Our most commonly purchased style is the closed-toe, calf-height sock. We do carry thigh-high, pantyhose, and calf-height in both open- and closed-toe options.
