Our compression legwear has been developed in partnership with vascular surgeons and vein clinics, is HSA/FSA eligible, and is listed with the FDA.
Read on to find peer-reviewed studies on how and why compression therapy can improve your wellness!
VIM & VIGR Compression legwear exerts therapeutic pressure to help eliminate excess blood and fluid from the legs.
Research indicates that applying a compression pressure of 10mmHg or more can effectively reverse or entirely prevent leg swelling!
In this study, participants saw a statistically significant decrease in leg volume as compression levels increased.
Wearing compression legwear has been scientifically shown to enhance blood circulation.
This graph shows that in a study where individuals wore compression tights and socks, participants saw a 99% and 63% increase in blood flow, respectively.
Due to gravity, blood can become trapped in your legs and feet; however, the gentle compression found in VIM & VIGR compression socks counteract gravity's effects by gently squeezing the bottom of the leg, thereby improving blood circulation.
Scientific studies found that wearing compression socks reduce leg pain by Improving blood flow thereby reducing swelling.
This can improve your quality of life and overall comfort by helping your legs feel their best.
In a scientific study over 6 months, individuals with chronic venous disease saw a statistically significant improvement in leg pain and quality of life when using compression therapy.
Because VIM & VIGR compression socks boost blood flow, they energize your legs.
Better blood flow with compression improves oxygen and nutrient delivery. It also reduces swelling, which helps your legs feel less heavy and more comfortable.
In a scientific study, individuals wearing compression socks retained a statistically significant amount of muscle power throughout the day, compared to not wearing compression.
Neuropathy affects so many diabetes sufferers, and there are lots of solutions that purport to help with that unwelcome “pins and needles” feeling. You may have access to treatments such as light therapy and electrical currents or gel pads. Compression socks can also be a huge help, reducing pain and improving stability and blood circulation.
For those with high blood pressure, compression socks help maintain a good blood flow, reducing workload on the heart and helping to prevent any blockages along the way. As blood flows through the veins, compression garments help push it upwards towards the heart. This has been shown to help fight the development of blood clots, and even more serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis.
If you already have high blood pressure, wearing compression socks should not cause you any health concerns. Ensuring that they fit well, are not too tight or uncomfortable, and are made from the most appropriate fabric for what you’re about to do, are all crucial things to be mindful of. Always consult with your doctor for your own specific needs.
Since compression socks are a great relief for lower limb pain and swelling, they can be excellent for tackling symptoms of deep vein thrombosis.
VIM & VIGR compression socks come in a variety of fabrics and compression levels to help provide comfort to individuals trying to prevent DVT.
DVT can take on a variety of forms, but it’s always caused by a blood clot forming in one or more of the deep veins in the body, usually in the legs. As a result, you may experience leg pain, swelling, color changes of the skin, or odd feelings of warmth. However, some do not experience noticeable symptoms until the condition develops further.
Depending on personal circumstances (such as if you’re allergic to some materials you might find in compression socks), you could experience some negative effects from wearing them.
It should be noted that it is advised to consult with your doctor if you are concerned about wearing compression.
However, most people will not suffer from any of these if they wear good-quality, well-fitting compression garments. VIM & VIGR compression legwear is know for being listed with the FDA & designed with vein clinics. Additionally, comfort and style is a priority as we have 6 different sizes, 4 different fabrics, and 3 different compression levels to choose from.
