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.
