Compression stockings can be of great benefit in preventing, relieving and controlling a variety of symptoms affecting the legs.
That being said, great care must be taken in assessing an individual’s medical history and state of health before compression stockings, compression leggings or any other compression garment can be worn on a regular basis.
This article will shed some light on situations, symptoms and conditions where compression stockings would not be beneficial or could even make things worse for the wearer. In medical terms, conditions that would prevent an individual from wearing compression stockings are called “contraindications”.
In conclusion, it should be said that whether or not you are experiencing any of the symptoms or conditions described above or even if you feel only minor aches and pains in your legs on a regular basis, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your primary care physician before trying compression stockings.
