An Introduction To Compression Socks
Author: Riz Goodman
Veins are affected in people who have jobs which involves sitting for long periods of time. The chances are that the blood will clot in the second half of the body as the veins which take the blood back to the heart will not have enough pressure to carry all the way through.
The best way to prevent this clotting of the blood is to walk after every half an hour. This can sometimes be a challenge based on the kind of job you are in. The way around this problem is to wear socks which are specifically designed to put pressure on the veins to send the blood back.
People with sedentary jobs are recommended to take medical advice and in most cases the advice will be to wear the compression socks. It is also recommended for people who are flying long distances in the economy class. In the flights generally there is no major space for leg movement.
That said in some cases the patients require certain amount of pressure to be applied at certain area of the leg. That can be achieved if you go for the custom compression socks. A lot of companies allow you to specify the exact pressure measurements and they will manufacture the compression compressions socks for you.
These custom compression socks have different pressure than the off the shelf compression stocking. Make sure that you know get the exact pressure requirement form your doctor. These custom compression socks are made differently for men and women.
The unit of pressure for measurement is mmHG. Ankles need the maximum pressure whereas the knees need less pressure though it all depends on the individual case. That said in the custom socks you can have the pressure adjusted according to your needs. A typical order by known manufacturer can be completed in a week. Wear the socks carefully as they may cause some pain initially
