Compression hose are designed with the intentions of promoting healthy legs and feet. These specialized socks promote good circulation of blood and oxygen through your extremities to help avoid major health risks. Things like numbness, swelling and blood clotting are all signs of poor circulation and can lead to major problems such as strokes and heart attacks. Most people do not think that a problem in your legs can lead to a problem near your heart but it is very possible and more common than one would imagine. Although scary, these socks can help prevent the worst from happening.
Here at Dr. Scholls Socks we care about your legs, feet and overall comfort. That is why we provide to you a wide selection of specialty socks and compression hose at affordable prices without the need for a prescription from a doctor. These socks are available to anyone regardless of you medical or personal needs.
Compression hose have a therapeutic purpose. They provide graduated pressure on the lower legs and feet to help alleviate circulatory problems such as thrombosis and edema. They use stronger elastics than traditional socks or stockings to create significant pressure on the legs, ankles and feet. They are tightest at the ankles and gradually become less constrictive toward the knees and thighs. They compress the surface veins, arteries and muscles and by doing so the circulating blood is forced through the narrower circulatory channels. The pressure causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet.
Diabetics and post surgery patients are usually the people who use compression hose the most, but anyone can benefit from their therapeutic purposes. If your legs and feet get tired, numb or just feel fatigued overall, these stockings may be the solution for you. By promoting good foot health, you also promote overall body health. When your legs and feet feel less tired, you will feel more energetic and not as tired as well. Therapeutic socks can also keep your legs and feet feeling and looking younger.
There are many benefits to wearing compression hose as you can see. Your legs and feet deserve some pampering and these stockings can pamper you all day. They are great for the people who sit at work all day or who are on their feet all day. Whatever your lifestyle, these stockings can help you to be healthier. You can back this up with good diet and plenty of rest and be the healthiest you have ever been.
We look forward to helping you and your feet to be healthier. Our goal is your satisfaction with the socks we offer. We care about your health. Please purchase your compression hose today and walk the road to a healthier you.
Always consult your physician before wearing graduated compression socks. Dr. Scholl’s socks are not intended to cure or treat any ailment or disease but are constructed to provide comfort to everyday life.
