Medical Compression FAQ

Compression socks apply graduated pressure, tightest at the ankle and gradually easing towards the knee, to help push blood back up towards your heart. This improves circulation, reduces swelling, and helps prevent blood pooling in the lower legs. TheraWear compression socks deliver medical-grade 15–20 mmHg pressure in a comfortable, breathable cotton-blend fabric.

Compression socks benefit nurses, healthcare workers, pregnant women, travellers, athletes, office workers, FIFO workers, and anyone managing varicose veins, DVT risk, or post-surgery recovery. If your legs feel tired, heavy, or swollen, compression socks can help.

TheraWear compression socks provide 15–20 mmHg graduated pressure, the most popular level for everyday wear, travel, pregnancy, sport, and mild medical conditions. For more severe medical conditions, consult your doctor about higher levels (20–30 mmHg or 30–40 mmHg).

Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and your ankle at its narrowest. Match those to our size chart on each product page. Compression socks should feel snug but never painful.

They use the same graduated-pressure technology. Socks are typically knee-high; stockings can extend to the thigh or waist. For most everyday uses, knee-high compression socks are ideal.

Absolutely, compression socks are one of the most effective ways to reduce DVT risk and leg swelling during flights. Put them on before you board and wear them for the entire flight.

Yes, the 15–20 mmHg level is widely recommended during pregnancy to manage swelling, varicose veins, and leg fatigue, especially in the second and third trimesters.

With proper care (gentle cold cycle, hang dry, no tumble dryer), TheraWear compression socks maintain effective compression for 3–6 months of regular daily wear.
