Compression hose offer a variety of benefits to the wearer and can promote good health by improving or even preventing a host of ailments and conditions. They are excellent for blood flow and circulation, helping to return blood from the legs to the heart.
There are different types of compression socks, some of which are more suited to those with hypotension. Others are ideal for preventing embolisms, and some are designed to be used by anyone wanting to enjoy the benefits of compression hose, such as relief from sore, achy legs, without a prescription.
They can benefit anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet, athletes, pregnant women, frequent air travelers, people confined to wheelchairs, and more. Through their influence on circulation, compression hose can:
- Decrease swelling in the ankles and legs
- Improve lymphatic drainage
- Manage hypotension
- Prevent the pooling of blood in the legs
- Prevent deep vein thrombosis
- Prevent venous ulcers
- Relieve pain from varicose veins
- Treat hypertension
