Is Viasox good for varicose veins? ›

An excellent option for those who experience swelling and varicose veins due to neuropathy. Viasox Compression Socks reverse this effect by applying mild yet comfortable pressure on your legs, pushing blood back up to your heart. This reduces painful swelling and improves the energy in your legs throughout the day.

Our carefully designed socks encourage blood circulation, while the seamless, non-binding material is comfortable enough to wear even during the night.

15-20 mmHg: Great for daily wear, travel, and sports. They help improve circulation without being too tight. 20-30 mmHg: Great for sports recovery, daily wear, medical recovery, and to manage mild symptoms of varicose and spider veins. Ideal for patients looking for more support.
