Socks help treat and prevent a variety of health concerns in
addition to keeping your feet warm and dry.
Compression socks, also known as compression stockings, are
special socks that exert moderate pressure to the legs and ankles. They can aid
in the improvement of blood flow from the legs to the heart.
"Compression socks have also been demonstrated to help
reduce swelling and pain in the legs and ankles," says Riverside Medical
Group's Sathish Mohan, M.D., a vascular expert. "They minimise the extra
fluid in the legs, reduce inflammation, and enhance blood flow via the veins to
the heart by applying pressure to the legs."

Basics of compression
socks
Compression socks are available at most pharmacies, big box
stores, and online sellers. For the best results, you may require a doctor's
prescription and/or expert fitting, depending on the sort of compression sock
that's ideal for you.
Compression socks or
stockings are divided into three categories:
Graduated compression stockings: This form of compression
stocking has the most compression at the ankle and lessens as it gets closer to
the knee. This type may be recommended if you have peripheral edoema or
orthostatic hypotension. Graduated compression stockings, in fact, almost
always necessitate a doctor's prescription and skilled fitting.
Anti-embolism stockings: These stockings similarly have
graded compression that reduces from the ankle upwards, but they are designed
for those who are unable to move. "Anti-embolism stockings can help lower
the risk of deep vein thrombosis," Dr. Mohan explains. Anti-embolism
stockings are usually prescribed by a doctor and fitted by a professional.
Non-prescription support hosiery: This form of compression
stocking is available at most pharmacies and does not require a prescription.
Support hosiery provides consistent compression throughout the stocking and can
help relieve fatigued, aching legs.
