Compression Socks

Medical compression therapy applies a type of elastic device on limbs or other body parts to exert a controlled pressure on them. Thereby, the device squeezes the vein walls together and improves the circulatory rate. Medical compression also helps with reduction of edema and recreates conditions beneficial for the healing of chronic inflammatory disorders.

Medical compression therapy consists of applying a type of elastic device, mainly on the limbs, to exert a controlled pressure on them. By compressing the limbs or other body regions, the medical compression device squeezes the vein walls together, thereby improving overall circulation and supporting blood flow back towards the heart.In addition, it helps to reduce swelling and formation of edema in edematous tissues by reducing the capillary leakage into the tissue and supports the lymphatic drainage of interstitial fluid. Medical compression provides significant relief of leg aching, pain, the feeling of swelling and heaviness, and other venous and lymphatic symptoms.

Compression socks are specially designed for compression therapy. They are close-fitting, stretchy garments that wrap snugly around your legs in order to increase the circulation of blood.

Compression socks is most beneficial to those who travel, sit, or stand for long periods of time, are pregnant, have a genetic history of venous disease, are older, or suffer from any venous insufficiency.

Compression therapy plays a crucial role in promoting better circulation, especially for individuals who experience poor blood flow in their legs. By applying controlled pressure, compression socks like those from Sigvaris help the veins and muscles in the legs push blood back up toward the heart, preventing blood from pooling in the lower extremities. This can significantly reduce the risk of blood clots, alleviate swelling, and improve overall leg comfort. Compression therapy is also beneficial for athletes by enhancing recovery, reducing muscle soreness, and preventing injury during physical activity.
