Medical Graduated Compression Socks Benefits

Amidst our busy daily routines, we often end up sitting or standing for extended periods of time. Recent research has indicated that if you spend an hour of time not moving your legs, there can be up to a 50% reduction in circulation. This causes blood to slow down and remain in the legs in a way that can cause a few undesirable side effects. An unnecessary amount of pressure can build up and stress the veins in your legs, causing symptoms like spider or varicose veins.

Luckily, Dr. Segal's compression socks relieve the pressure of trapped or slowed blood flow in the leg. Potentially this can put less pressure on your overall circulatory health and improve your energy levels by taking a load off of your legs.

• More Energy: Although we all lead busy lives, most of us sit or stand for extended periods of time during our day. Studies have shown that blood flow in the lower legs can decrease up to 50% after just 60 minutes of immobility. This results in increased pressure in the veins of the lower leg as blood fights against the force of gravity when returning to the heart. This may increase in pressure on the surface of the skin as varicose and spider veins, and feel the pressure as our legs begin to swell and that dull aching pain sets in.
• Faster Recovery: Athletes who wear compression socks have noted that their legs feel more energized, experience less swelling and leg pain associated with ligament, tendon injury and muscle tears and are therefore able to concentrate more on their performance giving them a mental edge. Studies show that by increasing oxygen to the working muscles and flushing out lactic acid athletes will experience a faster recovery time with decreased muscle soreness and increased comfort.
• More Comfortable Travel: Any type of travel lasting 4 or more hours increases your chance of developing a deadly blood clot (DVT). While few have symptoms, everyone has RISKS. Blood clots can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. In fact 75-99% of those who developed a travel related blood clot had one or more preexisting risk factors and didn't even know it. Multiple studies show wearing compression socks during travel effectively reduces the risk of developing deadly blood clots while also increasing comfort by reducing swelling and leg pain.

Who can benefit from Compression Socks

Did you know that there are socks for athletes? Based on scientific studies, it’s currently believed that the overall relief of compression socks can improve your recovery times. When athletes took on the challenge of testing out these socks, scientists observed a few useful things about the effects of compression.

While exercising you can reduce swelling and leg pain caused by damage to the muscle, bones, and ligaments in your leg. By curbing the pain athletes had an easier time staying focused on the task at hand. To top it all off, the compression helped significantly reduce the level of lactic acid buildup around muscles and boosted oxygen. These effects ultimately reduced the amount of time it took to recover between each run.

Women & Expecting Moms

Throughout their lives women are susceptible to an increased risk of blood clots due to their physiology as well as crucial choices they make with respect to birth control, pregnancy and menopause.

• Birth control pills (BCP) increase a woman's risk of developing a deadly blood clot 3x
• During pregnancy a woman's risk of blood clots increases 4x
• The first week after childbirth, this risk increases up to 100x and continues to remain high up to 6 weeks post partum
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can increase the risk up to 3x.
• During pregnancy a woman's blood volume increases by 30% putting strain on the circulatory system
• As the baby grows it puts pressure on the inferior vena cava resulting in increased pressure in the lower legs
• This increase in blood volume + increased blood pressure in the lower legs due to the growing baby often leads to swelling and pain in the legs, feet and ankles.
• Statistically, 40% of women will end up with varicose or spider veins and this number can increase to 75% with subsequent pregnancies.
