Compressions Socks

Compression Socks:

Compression socks, or compression stockings, are specially crafted with medical-grade compression (20-30 mmHg) to snugly fit the lower leg. They provide graduated compression, exerting more pressure at the ankle and less on the calf, facilitating the movement of excess fluid towards the heart.

All Injury Management:

At All Injury Management, our skilled practitioners, including physiotherapists, offer insights into the benefits and applications of compression socks tailored to individual needs.

Understanding Compression Socks:

Designed to enhance circulation, compression socks exert pressure on the veins, aiding in the return of blood to the heart. This is crucial for individuals dealing with conditions like varicose veins, venous insufficiency, and poor circulation in the legs.

Facts:

• 80% of our blood is found in the veins.

• Legs constantly work under high pressure, and venous valves assist in preventing blood from flowing backward.

• Lack of exercise, genetics, or hormonal changes can lead to enlarged veins, causing blood pooling and conditions like varicose veins.

Conditions Requiring Compression Stockings:

• Varicose veins

• Venous insufficiency

• Decreasing swelling in the legs and ankles

• Poor lymphatic drainage

• Poor circulation in legs

• Deep Vein Thrombosis

• Chronic fatigue in legs (athletes, individuals with standing jobs)

Benefits of Compression Stockings:

• Improve circulation in lower extremities

• Prevent blood pooling in legs

• Help prevent venous ulcers

• Improve lymphatic drainage

• Decrease fatigue

• Enhance energy and bodily function

How Compression Stockings Work:

Compression stockings contribute to managing lower extremity swelling. A combination of treatments, such as physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, dry needling/acupuncture, cupping, or kinesiotaping, may be recommended for optimal outcomes.
