Jobst Opaque Medical Legwear for Women

There are a lot of reasons why ankles and legs might swell. Standing for long periods of time, long flights or rides in the car, obesity, old age. Anything that might keep your blood from circulating as it should.

No matter the reason, ankle and leg swelling can be painful. So here’s a helpful tip. Compression stockings, also known as support hose, improve circulation in your legs, which can help reduce swelling and relieve pain.

If ankle and leg swelling is a result of varicose veins, a good compression stocking can also be used for varicose vein therapy. Compression stockings are actually a common varicose veins treatment.

Whether used to relieve swelling due to standing, sitting in place for long periods of time, obesity, age, or vein treatment, Jobst has a compression stocking that will help meet your needs. Jobst compression stockings come in a variety of styles that will go well with whatever you’re wearing.

If you’re a man, you’re probably thinking that compression stockings are for women only. Think again. Jobst also has styles for men, many of which are hard to distinguish from regular socks.
