How do varicose veins arise?
Varicose veins are dilated veins just beneath the surface of the skin, often in the leg. They look blue and squiggly. These veins occur when the valves in the veins, which ensure that blood flows towards the heart, do not close properly. This means that the vessel walls are less strong and offer less resistance than desired. As a result, the blood with waste products is not properly transported to the heart, causing it to accumulate locally and the veins to dilate.
How can Herzog compression socks help with varicose veins?
Herzog PRO Compression Socks are important if you want to prevent varicose veins from getting worse. Herzog socks provide external pressure on the muscle tissue, providing support to the vessels and allowing the valves to fully open and close again. The socks are suitable for both the treatment and prevention of varicose veins. They are support socks but specifically developed for athletes: they are more durable, breathe better and are knitted with high-quality microfibers. Herzog socks have an official medical certificate (MDR quality mark) and, like support socks, are in pressure class 2. Due to the sporty design and high wearing comfort, you certainly do not have to feel like a patient if you have vascular problems.
