Ankle Compression Socks

What is Ankle Compression Socks?

Compression socks and stockings are designed for compression therapy. They apply gentle pressure to your legs and ankles, promoting blood flow from your legs to your heart. Compression socks can also reduce pain and swelling in your ankles and legs.

Are ankle compression socks good?

The answer is yes! Ankle-high compression socks are usually easier to put on and more comfortable to wear than knee-length. They also provide a lot of the same benefits, including reduced swelling and reduced foot pain.

How long can you wear ankle compression socks?

Although it's not harmful to wear compression stockings 24 hours a day, it's also not necessary unless your doctor advises explicitly so as to prevent open sores. As mentioned earlier, sitting or standing for extended periods of time during the day will cause blood to pool in your veins.

How many hours a day should you wear Ankle Compression Socks?

Depending on your need, you can consider wearing them all day long (though you should take them off before bed), or just for a few hours at a time. Compression socks can be helpful for many people, but you should still talk to your doctor before making them a part of your health care routine.
