What are compression socks and how do they work?
Naturally, our veins have to work against gravity to pump the blood back to our heart. Sometimes, our veins need a little extra help doing this. If you have poor circulation, tired legs, blood pooling or swelling in your lower legs or feet, or are predisposed to blood clots, then compression socks might be for you. These socks work by mimicking what the valves in your veins should be doing: pushing the blood back up to your heart. Compression socks come in a variety of styles, materials, lengths and compression levels. From athletic socks, to dress socks, to diabetic socks, we can find something that works for you. **Most extended health care plans have full or partial coverage for prescription level gradients.** Please call your nearest clinic location if you would like more information about compression socks. |
