PODIATRIST DISCUSSES BENEFITS OF COMPRESSION SOCKS
posted: Jul. 11, 2023.
Compression socks and stockings help improve blood flow through the veins and reduce swelling, said Michael Mazer, DPM, a podiatrist and associate of the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons. This is particularly beneficial because, as Dr. Mazer pointed out, we tend to develop various health conditions that can contribute to leg swelling as we age.

He said that the increase in circulation from wearing compression socks and stockings can result in less lower extremity discomfort and prevent muscle fatigue, especially for individuals that are on their feet often.
