WHAT ARE COMPRESSION SOCKS? And How Can They Help You With Aches and Pains?
Anti-embolism stockings are designed specifically for nonmobile people to help them fight against DVT.
At the very best, poor blood circulation in the body can lead to various annoying aches and pains. At worst, it can cause serious health conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), where a blood clot forms in the deep veins and makes its way to a main artery, potentially causing a fatal pulmonary embolism.
Nonmedical support stocking s are available without a prescription. They help alleviate aches and pains caused by poor circulation in the legs. Each type of compression sock may vary in the level of pressure they apply to your legs. Mild pressure, which is anything less than 15 mmHg, will help you combat aches and pains just fine; 15–20 mmHg can help people with minor swelling or who have concerns about DVT. Anything 20–40 mmHg is considered medical grade and is only necessary if you have severe swelling or you’re recovering from surgery. Typically, the only negative side effect that might result from wearing compression socks is some irritation and redness, but if you wear them correctly, they should fit flush against your skin and feel snug but not painful. If you think that compression socks could help you, try on a pair of nonprescription socks or check with a health care professional to see what option would be best for you.
Whatever the case, one tool you might not know much about could be the solution to your aches and pains: compression socks.
Compression socks are a type of sock that tightly compresses your leg as you wear them, reducing the diameter of major veins and increasing blood flow to the heart rather than downward to your feet or laterally into superficial veins. Among several other benefits, compression socks are meant to support veins, prevent blood from pooling in them, decrease swelling, and reduce orthostatic hypertension.
Compression socks can come in a variety of types, lengths, and compression levels. The three basic types of compression socks are:
Graduated compression stockings compress more strongly toward the ankle than at the top of the sock. These are designed for people who plan to be up and moving about.
