- Dr. Botek, DPM
The Benefits:
- Boost circulation in the legs
- Support veins and reduce pooling of blood in leg veins
- Diminish leg swelling
- Reduce orthostatic hypotension, alleviating lightheadedness or unsteadiness
- Help prevent venous ulcers
- Reduce the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs
- Alleviate pain caused by varicose veins
- Reverse venous hypertension
- Improve lymphatic drainage
The Science:
Compression socks apply gentle pressure to the legs and ankles, which may:

- Promote blood flow upward toward the heart
- Prevent blood from pooling in the foot or flowing into superficial veins
