Donning Tips
Donning compression socks doesn’t have to be a daily struggle.
It can be difficult to put on compression socks because they are snug, especially around the heel and ankle area. That’s the way it is supposed to be in order to get the compression. Unfortunately, when people get discouraged, they don’t wear them consistently – and the swelling in their lower legs and ankles tends to get worse rather than better.
Use these tips for wearing compression socks to make it a little easier.
