Those who suffer from circulatory disorders such as phlebitis can particularly benefit from the use of calf compression socks. Phlebitis is where a vein underneath the skin’s surface becomes inflamed, causing pain & swelling.  In many cases it is treated with anti-inflammatories & warm compresses, but more severe cases of phlebitis in the deep veins is linked to deep vein thrombosis. If blood clots form here, they can break off & travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism which can be fatal. A pulmonary embolism is where some of the blood clot breaks off into the bloodstream & causes a blockage in the blood vessels in the lungs. Oedema (swelling) is where an abnormal build-up of fluid collects in the body’s tissues, usually causing swelling in the feet & ankles. Compression socks can help to improve such symptoms & prevent these conditions from worsening by increasing the pressure in the veins which helps to boost venous blood flow. Therefore, reducing pain, swelling & discomfort, as well as decreasing your chances of suffering from deep vein thrombosis. Calf compression socks can help to retain heat, improve circulation & increase lymphatic drainage of waste products from body tissues making them ideal to be used by athletes as they protect against muscle injury & strains.
