A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cuz they look Goood!: LOL! You meant to say COMpression not IMpression stockings! So, here's the scoop. Compression stockings help mainly by SQUEEZING lymphatic fluid from the subcutaneous tissues BACK into the lymph channels which increases venous volume. This improves heart contractility ultimately pumping out larger volumes of blood for oxygenation to the lungs, back to heart, out to the body..REPEAT..BREATHE!
