Compression Socks Frequently Asked Questions

What do compression socks actually do?

Compression socks apply graduated pressure to the legs, helping to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. This can be beneficial for people with conditions like varicose veins, edema or those who spend long periods of time on their feet. Compression socks can also aid in recovery after exercise or injury by reducing muscle soreness and fatigue.

How many hours a day should you wear compression socks?

The ideal duration for wearing compression socks depends on individual needs and the specific condition being addressed. For conditions like varicose veins or edema, doctors may recommend wearing compression socks for most of the day. However, for post-exercise recovery or temporary swelling, wearing them for a few hours may suffice. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate duration for your situation.

Is there a downside to compression socks?

While compression socks offer several benefits, there are potential downsides to consider. Prolonged wear can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, or circulation problems in some individuals. Additionally, compression socks may not be suitable for those with certain health conditions, such as peripheral artery disease. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using compression socks regularly.
